Women's Super League (WSL) and Women's Championship (WC) clubs have unanimously agreed to form a new organization, NewCo, to lead the women's professional game in England. The new entity will have a 75/25 revenue split, cost controls, and WSL will have a say over commercial decisions. Nikki Doucet has been appointed as the CEO. This decision marks a move away from FA control, with the clubs seeking private equity investors for their growing women's teams. The U.S. Women’s National Team is also entering a new era with upcoming friendlies against China.
