FORMER City and England striker Toni Duggan has welcomed the expansion of the Women's Super League to 14 teams from the start of the 2026-27 season.

- By PA SPORT STAFF

A proposal put forward by Nikki Doucet, chief executive of Women's Professional Leagues Limited, was voted through at Monday's WSL Football shareholders meeting.

It still requires the approval of the Football Association board but, if it gets the green light, 14 teams will compete in the women's top flight from next year and the 2025-26 WSL campaign will conclude with a relegation/promotion play-off.
