Second tier adopted current name in 2018Majority of shareholders thought to back move
The Women’s Championship could be renamed as Women’s Super League 2 from next season onwards, the Guardian can reveal, in a move that would involve the second tier of the English women’s game reverting to its previous name.
The division, which sits directly below the Women’s Super League in the English pyramid, was known originally as WSL 2 when it was first introduced in 2014 and it kept that title until being rebranded as the Women’s Championship before the 2018-19 campaign, when the domestic women’s calendar switched from a summer to a winter season, but it could now soon be switching back.
