Expectation follows hard on the heels of success. For the Great Britain women’s national team, their silver medal-winning performance at the 2022 IFAF Women’s World Championships has raised the bar when it comes to participating in subsequent tournaments.
The Lions defeated Canada 20-13 in the semifinals in Finland last year and held their own against the United States in a 42-14 loss in the gold medal game. That impressive achievement was followed by a comprehensive 40-point shutout of Sweden in the opening game of the current 2023/24 continental campaign.
