Clubs in the Women’s Super League decide to split from the Football Association.

The Women’s Super League and Championship teams have decided to establish a club-owned company to

manage women’s professional football in England starting with the upcoming season.

The WSL and Championship will be run by the new organization, which will assume control from the FA.

The top two tier clubs will all take on the role of shareholders.

Nikki Doucet, the former director of Nike, has been named CEO.

Since the WSL’s initial launch in 2010, the FA has overseen it for the past 13 years.

The director of women’s football for the FA, Baroness Sue Campbell, stated in the summer that there had been “some

really honest and exciting conversations” and that there was “a real acceptance that the women’s game needs to be

managed differently, run differently.”

With the current agreements with Sky Sports and the BBC set to expire at the end of this season, the new organization

will have a task ahead of them in setting up broadcasting contracts for the upcoming season.

In addition, it’s believed that VAR will be implemented in the WSL for the upcoming season, as per a prior BBC report

by Emma Sanders.

The League Cup’s format, scheduling gaps, and the officials’ professionalism are among the other hot topics of conversation.

The points-based system for foreign players needing a visa, which was implemented in January 2021, was previously

brought up by Marc Skinner.

“There are great players abroad that you just can’t get into the country,” he declared. The number of points is excessive,

so we ought to request a change in the way we let players in. We must consider the point ceiling if we hope for our league to be the greatest.
