WSL and Women’s Championship agree to new structure

Nikki Doucet

Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship clubs have agreed to form a club-owned organisation that will run women’s professional football in England from the 2024/25 season.

The NewCo will take control of the WSL and Championship from the Football Association, with each club in the two top tiers acting as shareholders.

Former Nike director Nikki Doucet will be NewCo’s chief executive.

The FA has run the WSL since it was launched in 2010.
