Imagine being waived from your team just days before preseason. Now, imagine finding yourself a new team all on your own without the help of an agent. This was the situation in which former NJ/NY Gotham FC defender Kelly Ann Livingstone found herself earlier this year. “I always received great feedback from my coaches and Yael [Averbuch West]. We still have a really good relationship, but it didn’t work out because there’s a new coach coming in and he wanted some extra space on the roster,” Livingstone told The Equalizer. “I was one of those players that maybe he was going to take and maybe he wasn’t, but ultimately it panned out for me to get experience abroad before I come back to the NWSL which is also something I wanted.” Now, Livingstone is headed over to Denmark to join Fortuna Hjørring of the Kvindeliga.  “Denmark was one of the top places that I wanted to play in Europe,” she explained. “A friend of mine from [my college team] Georgetown who played on a different team in the league had a contact who was looking for a center back.

NYON, Switzerland (AP) — Four-time defending champion Lyon has been drawn to play Fortuna Hjørring in the round of 16 of the Women’s Champions League. Before Lyon became one of the most dominant teams in international club soccer, Fortuna Hjørring was the beaten finalist in the 2003 edition of UEFA’s continental championship. Now the independent women’s club from Denmark has a daunting task against a star-packed Lyon team led by Norwegian forward Ada Hegerberg, France defender Wendie Renard and England right back Lucy Bronze, the UEFA best player in Europe. “It’s a difficult draw,” said Fortuna manager Peter Enevoldsen, who aimed to flip the order of games to play the first leg in Denmark. “It’s good for the people to come and watch the best team in Europe.” In order pairings made Monday, it was Manchester City vs. Atlético Madrid; Barcelona vs. Minsk; and Wolfsburg vs. Twente. First-leg games will be played Oct. 16-17, and return games on Oct. 30-31. The Women’s Champions League is played as a knockout bracket from the round of 32, though a 16-team group-stage format is being proposed for future seasons. Manchester City and Atlético met in the round of 32 last season, with the Spanish club winning 3-1 on aggregate. “It’s a great game with two teams who have similar styles,” City’s head of women’s football Gavin Makel said. “As a spectacle for fans watching the game, it will be a really high level.” English champion Arsenal was drawn to play away first against Slavia Prague, and Bayern Munich travels to Kazakhstan first to play BIIK-Kazygurt. Wolfsburg, the 2013 and ’14 European champion and twice a runner-up since, advanced through the previous round 15-0 on aggregate against newcomer Mitrovica of Kosovo. Lyon ran up a 16-0 aggregate score against Ryazan of Russia.

Four Aussies claimed Domestic Cup trophies over the weekend, with Chelsea and Fortuna Hjørring winning in their respective finals.  Sam Kerr and Hayley Raso found the back of the net, while FC Rosengård and San Diego Wave FC extended their unbeaten streaks.  Kerr looked to be through for the opener, expertly going past City keeper Ellie Roebuck in a one-on-one challenge, however, the offside flag denied the striker's attempt to give Chelsea the lead.  The reigning Women's FA Cup Champions wouldn't have to wait long for the go-ahead goal, Millie Bright's cross-shot finding Kerr at the back post to nod Chelsea into the lead. Chelsea was only able to hold onto the advantage for just nine minutes, with Lauren Hemp finding the equaliser for Manchester City to send both sides in at 1-1.  Erin Cuthbert took back the lead for Chelsea, with her strike hitting the underside of the crossbar.  Hayley Raso then entered the game for City, looking to claw back an equaliser for Manchester and she did exactly that. Alex Greenwood sent a perfectly weighted ball over the top, which Raso controlled with her chest and muscled her way past the Chelsea defence to put the game back at 2-2 in the 89th minute and send the game to extra time.  Kerr eventually found the match-winner, making a run towards goal with only centre-back Alex Greenwood and keeper Roebuck in her way with Jessie Fleming also joining in attack as an option for the striker. The Aussie fired her shot just as she made her way into the box, with Greenwood, caught in between cutting down the pass to Fleming and trying to stop Kerr from making a shot, the ball hit the City defender and ricocheted into the back of the net In Denmark, Clare Wheeler, Angie Beard and Indi-Paige Riley's Fortuna Hjørring also claimed their domestic cup with a 3-1 win over last season's runners up FC Thy-Thisted Q. Moving over to midweek action in Sweden, Clare Polkinghorne and Katrina Gorry both started for Vittsjö GIK as they faced Kalmar, ending in a 1-0 win for Vittsjö GIK. Vittsjö's second game of the week saw them host Piteå, with Clara Markstedt sealing a 2-1 win for the hosts as Vittsjö moved into fifth place.  Hammarby was looking for their third win of the season when they took on IF Brommapojkarna. Courtney Nevin made the start and played 76 minutes in Hammarby's 2-0 win. While fellow Aussie Kyra Cooney-Cross is still eagerly awaiting her debut.  Meanwhile, Remy Siemsen's AIK were looking to climb off the bottom of the table when facing Eskilstuna. A 17th-minute winner for the hosts saw AIK face their seventh defeat of the season.  Siemsen went close to equalising in stoppage time, however, is still searching for her first goal with her new side.  Over in Malmö, Teagan Micah and Charli Grant's FC Rosengård were aiming to extend their unbeaten streak to eight and maintain their spot at the top of the table went they host Kristianstads DFF. Micah started for the home side, with Sofie Bruun Bredgaard opening the scoring for Rosengård in the 36th minute.  Grant replaced goalscorer Bredgaard, to help see out the win. However, Kristianstads' Delaney Baie Pridham found an 88th-minute equaliser to snatch two points off Rosengård. This draw sees Rosengård move to second on the table.  Moving over to the USA, Chloe Logarzo's Kansas City played out a 2-2 draw with Orlando Pride. Logarzo is still recovering from her ACL injury but is making promising signs of returning for the Current this season.  Alex Chidiac was named on the bench in Racing Louisville's 1-1 draw with Houston Dash, the Aussies still awaits her NWSL debut which could come on Thursday morning against fellow Australian Emily van Egmond. Meanwhile, Emily van Egmond's San Diego Wave FC extended their winning streak to three to take over first place on the ladder with a 2-1 win over the Chicago Red Stars.  Our last stop takes us to Italy, where Aivi Luik and Ella Mastrantonio's Pomigliano C.F avoided relegation with a 3-1 win over Napoli.  04 May 2025 11:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}HB Køge won 1–0 over Fortuna Hjørring on Sun This is 6 of the Kvindeligaen Championship Group The current head to head record for the teams are HB Køge 9 win(s) Have scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches Who won between HB Køge and Fortuna Hjørring on Sun 04 May 2025 11:00:00 GMT?HB Køge won 1–0 over Fortuna Hjørring on Sun 04 May 2025 11:00:00 GMT.InsightsHave scored 10 goals in their last 5 matches HB Køge is playing home against Fortuna Hjørring on Sun This is 8 of the Kvindeligaen Championship Group The current head to head record for the teams are Fortuna Hjørring 11 win(s) Fortuna Hjørring is playing home against AGF on Sat The building appears as a composition of cubic blocks.

"It is a building which stands by its cultural significance and which dares to be different without taking focus away from the town's existing qualities." © Adam MørkThe approach to the building's design has been a pragmatic view of culture as an opportunity and experience for all. Therefore, space has been created for both scheduled and ad hoc events outside at the plaza, inside the foyer and on the grand staircase where visitors can choose to be spectators or even participate in the activities. © Adam Mørk"We've designed emphasis on the interaction between artists and spectators all the major halls can be opened to the foyer the use of glass and windows in different rooms creates visual connections and the performers can get a glimpse of the public from their lounge on the top level."

successfully moved a 720t lighthouse in Hjorring to prevent it from being lost to the Scandinavian country’s eroding coastline The 120-year-old Rubjerg Knude Fyr lighthouse was slid 70m Twenty-four iron bars enabled the jacking system to lift the lighthouse before it was placed on to the rails The move took place along a trench excavated on a flat foundation The existing foundations for the 23-metre tall lighthouse were reinforced with extra steel and concrete 7m3 of extra concrete was used to strengthen the foundations a local mason who runs his one-man operation in Hjorring Danish engineering firm BMS Krangården was brought in to carry out the move After two and a half years of planning Pedersen admitted that he was very nervous about the move I have been looking forward to getting started,” Pedersen said ahead of the move “It is the first time in Danish history that an attempt is made to move a [building] to save it from crashing into the sea.” He added: “It is a huge task for such a small business as mine but I am well prepared and I have got the best people for the job.” Enabling work for the move began in August with the construction of an access road for transporting equipment to the site Further excavation work was then carried out to support the rail system before steel beams were positioned Steel plates and lifting gear was then installed ahead of the move Pedersen explained that working on the foundations was particularly difficult due to the sandy conditions The lighthouse itself sits between two sand dunes which have formed in the years since the lighthouse was first put into operation the dunes grew so high that the lighthouse was abandoned in 1968 as its light was blocked by a dune which emerged in front of it Since then it has become a tourist attraction “It is a challenge to work in the sand by the lighthouse because as soon as a hole is drilled in the lighthouse's foundation Pedersen explains how his team attached bottle cleaners on to long steel poles in order to clear out holes filled with sand Work will now continue to clean up the square around the lighthouse restore the terrain and re-paint the structure which is set to re-open in mid-November Like what you've read? To receive New Civil Engineer's daily and weekly newsletters click here.
