It is a great day to be a fan of the game, with the beginning of this summer's major tournament getting under way.
But it also brings us action from all across the world, as teams prepare for next year.
Friday kicks off the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, and it also begins qualification for the major tournament next summer, Euro 2020.
Hosts France will kick off women’s action in Paris, taking on Korea Republic. Many think this is the year for the French side, and today will go a long way towards seeing if they will embrace the pressure as hosts, or crumble.
In Euro 2020 qualifying, there will be matches all across the continent. Most of the games picked here are heavy favorites: it is just a matter of whether or not they punish the minnows.
