KOSOVARE ASLLANI is confident there are “big things ahead” for London City Lionesses as the team gear up for Sunday’s Women’s Championship promotion decider at Birmingham.

London City, formed in 2019 when Millwall’s women’s team hierarchy became independent of the club, in 2023 were acquired by US businesswoman Michele Kang.
