Galway United are set to join the Women's National League from next season.
The club announced the move today and also revealed that u-17 and u-19 women's teams will also be created. The move has been mooted for a while, with rumours swirling that United were set to join the WNL pyramid after Galway WFC's decision to withdraw from the league in 2023.
Talks between the FAI and United have been ongoing for the past few weeks. In a statement released this afternoon, United paid tribute to Galway WFC's efforts to further the women's game in the west of Ireland in recent years.
