The English club announced they were dropping out of the Barclays Women’s Championship
Three Northern Ireland senior women's internationals have been left in limbo after their club dropped into the fifth tier of English football. Reading FC have announced their withdrawal from the Barclays Women’s Championship for the 2024-25 season due to financial issues.
The club confirmed to the Football Association and the Women’s Professional Game they would not be able to meet the ongoing compliance requirements needed to continue in the higher division. Reading will compete in the Southern Region Football League Premier Division next term after an application to re-enter the pyramid was accepted.
“The club understand the demotion to tier five will come as a huge disappointment for all connected with the club. This solution, however, does provide the club with the opportunity to continue to operate a women’s football department.
