Women’s Football: Women switch to winter schedule
New season will start in September and finish in May

THE Women’s Super League (WSL) will move from a summer to a winter schedule, with manager England Mark Sampson praising yesterday’s announcement.

The Football Association believe that the shift will ease the problems with fixture scheduling and the need to take a break during major tournament football.

The new WSL will run from September to May, similar to the men’s schedule, starting after Euro 2017.
