Having received a great boost from the 2019 World Cup, women’s football now faces new challenges following the COVID-19 pandemic with the FA Women’s Super League ending prematurely and places decided by Points Per Game. This thread looks at underlying financials in the #FAWSL.
Reviewing WSL financials is made more difficult by the fact that not all clubs publish detailed accounts, so some lack information on revenue, expenses, wages and headcount. Nevertheless, there is enough to identify some common themes, including total £8.7m loss for the division. 
This analysis will focus on the 12 clubs competing in the 2019/20 WSL, but will use the latest available accounts, namely for the 2018/19 season. This means that the figures for the two promoted clubs, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, are from the Women’s Championship.
