The newly formed Women's Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL) will run the Women's Super League and Women's Championship with an all-female executive team, marking a significant move towards gender equality in sports leadership.
The Premier League has provided a £20m interest-free loan to the WPLL, securing a seat on the board until the loan is repaid, showcasing a shared commitment to the future of women's football.
With 23 clubs in the WSL and Women's Championship as shareholders, and with the FA maintaining a special share, the new structure promises greater investment and a focus on grassroots projects in women's football.
The FA's transition of control to WPLL from its own management, after overseeing the leagues since their inception in 2011 and 2014, reflects a strategy aimed at elevating women's football to new heights.
