The Women’s Championship could be renamed as Women’s Super League 2 from next season. The division, which sits directly below the Women’s Super League in the English pyramid, was known originally as WSL 2 when it was introduced in 2014 and was rebranded as the Women’s Championship before the 2018‑19 campaign, when the domestic women’s calendar switched from a summer to a winter season.
No final decision regarding a name change has yet been ratified, but the proposal was first tabled more than a month ago. It is believed to have the provisional support of the majority of shareholders after a meeting in October.
