Speed of Change in Women's Football Leaving Clubs Behind
The deadline for Women’s Super League clubs to apply to stay in the top two tiers next season closed last Friday and two teams have announced they're not even applying.
The good news is, the Women's Super League is still the cheapest footy in the UK to watch live, despite increasing prices by the most this year. And as the BBC Price of Football study has found that 82% of young fans [18-24] are put off engaging with football due to cost, the WSL1 is a clear winner for anyone looking to get super close to the action without breaking the bank. Go here to check out which games are coming up in the WSL1 and who's sitting where.
