You can be a mum and a footballer - they can co-exist

Birmingham City striker Magill discusses balancing motherhood with her return to football after giving birth to daughter Skye in May.

Northern Ireland captain Simone Magill has given birth to her first child, Skye, in May and is now balancing motherhood with her return to professional football. The 31-year-old Birmingham City striker, who has had a 16-year career with the national team, emphasizes that while football remains important, her identity as a mother is now her priority. She is training with the Northern Ireland squad ahead of Friday's World Cup play-off against Portugal, though she will not play in the first round due to her recent return from childbirth.
