FA rule change sees Cardiff City Ladies eligible for promotion
Cardiff City Ladies are now eligible for promotion following a rule change by the English FA.
A previous rule meant that they were only to play in the third tier of English football.
Now the Welsh club will be allowed to move up the English pyramid, should they achieve promotion. They are two divisions below the top tier of football.
Wales internationals such as Cori Williams, Laura O’Sullivan and Kylie Nolan in their ranks.
“We are so grateful and humbled that the FA have taken this decision, there is now everything to play for this season,” said chairwoman Michele Adams.
“After years of uncertainty, it’s now all up to us, Management and the players to reach the goals we’ve set.”
“This can only inspire the future generation of players to work harder in the hope of potentially, playing against the best players around England and Wales.
“We are so looking forward to the new season and we ask that supporters, locals and football fans alike come to support our Ladies in their quest to challenge in the league.”
Cardiff City begin their FA Women’s National League campaign at home to Gillingham Ladies.
