The new SSE Airtricity Women’s National League season is about to get underway with a series of innovations set to take effect.

Bohemians will entertain Treaty United in the opening game of the 2021 campaign as the WNL shares a title sponsor with the League of Ireland Premier and First Divisions for the first time.

The pick of the opening fixtures though will be where Kilkenny players Karen Duggan and Ellen Molloy face off against each other, as last years double winner Peamount play Wexford Youths. Both players picked up player of the season awards last season, with Karen picking up senior award for the second time, while Ellen grabbed the young player of the year in her debut season.

And for the first time, all SSE Airtricity Women’s National League games will be streamed live across the LOITV platform this season.

Football Association of Ireland Chief Executive Jonathan Hill is looking forward to the start of the new season and said “As an Association, we are committed to the growth of Women’s and girls’ football. I have made that commitment since I came into the job and I can promise everyone involved with the Women’s National League that we will do everything we can to support them and to grow the game for all our female players of all ages.”
