Chelsea’s Pernille Harder, the most expensive women’s footballer, along with Sam Kerr and Fran Kirby, ensures the Blues remain a powerhouse. England stars like Steph Houghton, Georgia Stanway, and Ellen White further elevate the league’s prestige.

Derby Days That Deliver
The WSL’s derbies are as intense as their men’s counterparts, drawing record-breaking crowds.
The Manchester derby has become a highlight of the WSL calendar.

With the 2022 Women’s Euros being hosted in England, the Lionesses are poised for a historic campaign under new manager Sarina Wiegman, who led the Netherlands to European glory.
Inspiring the Next Generation
The WSL’s visibility is inspiring young girls to dream big.
“Now, young girls can watch us play and have women as their idols instead of Messi or Ronaldo.” – Pernille Harder
The FA’s Gameplan for Growth has already doubled female participation, with 3.4 million women and girls now playing football in England.
The Future of Women’s Football
While the WSL is fully professional, the Women’s Championship still operates semi-professionally. However, investment and exposure continue to grow, ensuring the sport’s upward trajectory.
