All-female leadership team announced for WSL and Women’s Championship
Ownership of two leagues handed to new company WPLLWPLL confirms it took £20m loan from Premier League
An all-female executive leadership team will run the top two leagues of English women’s football, after the Football Association (FA) legally handed ownership of the Women’s Super League (WSL) and Women’s Championship to a new independent company on Thursday.
That new company, which had previously been called NewCo, has been temporarily renamed “Women’s Professional Leagues Limited” (WPLL) and will now run the WSL and Women’s Championship, which is roughly akin to the EFL’s authority over the men’s Championship, League One and League Two. A longer-term name for the WPLL is still to be chosen.
