A WSL winter schedule was the logical step
KADEEM SIMMONDS is pleased the women’s league will start in September

Finally. The Football Association have decided to move the Women’s Super League over to a winter schedule, in line with the rest of women’s football across Europe.

The reason for having it played over the summer made sense a few years back but as the game grows, starting the season in September is now the best thing to do.

The WSL attracts crowds of over 1,000 people in the summer. Given that people use this time of the year to go abroad, there is potential to increase that number should you move the game to November.
