The League of Ireland and the Football Association of Ireland have confirmed that Waterford FC have been invited to enter the Club Licensing process for the 2025 SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division.
The National League Committee have determined that 12 teams will be invited to compete in next season’s SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division and all clubs will now enter the process for the three League of Ireland Senior Divisions with final Licences to be confirmed in November.
Waterford FC is extremely committed to bring senior women’s football to the city & county of Waterford, and is a central vision of the club’s long-term plans.
After introducing a WU17 academy side in 2021, and now an WU19 side at the beginning of this year, Waterford FC say they are focused on continuing to grow all aspects of the club.
"With our women’s academy structure now strongly in-place, the club is hopeful of entering a senior women’s team into the SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division next season, subject to a successful licencing application to the FAI over the coming months."
Group CEO Steve Curwood was pleased with this news, commenting: “It’s very important we continue to grow the club across all fronts, so we are delighted to now be in a position to apply for a licence for a senior women’s team complementing the existing structure. We will have more information on this particular project in the coming weeks.”
