UK soccer League


UK Womens Soccer League Structure


Its come to my attention that people aren't clued up on the structure of the UK womens soccer league, so i'm gonna clear this issue up now.


The British soccer league is pyramid in structure. The F.A Women's Premiership, this League is at the very top, this is where you'll find international players, mostly british, as there's not big money to attract forgien international players. The league then divides down to lower leagues, having a big base of low leagues at the very bottom.


The Leagues are divided by area, to make playing each team in the league easy travel wise. There are two leagues just below the top, they are called the F.A Premier Southern Division and F.A Premier Northern Divsion. This three league are highly competetive, are often are the womens teams of the Male Premiership such as Chelsea Ladies F.C and Fulham F.C.


Below this southern and northern division the league divides up again into about 4 leagues for each northern and southern areas of England. The Leagues divide up further and further, till you get small teams who compete in say South-East London Divsion 4 (one of the very bottom leagues).
