Wythenshawe FC drop amateur status as they look to make waves in the women's game

Wythenshawe FC are set to drop their amateur status and will look to invest more into their women's team in a huge move forward for the club.

Following the promotion of Wythenshawe FC's men's team into the North West Counties Premier League, the club are set to make a raft of changes, starting with the name of the club and its investment in the women’s game.

Formerly Wythenshawe Amateurs FC, the club are dropping their amateur name and status, with both their male and female sides going semi-professional, despite the women continuing to compete in the North West Regional Football League - the sixth tier of the football pyramid.
