WNL Kicks Off This Weekend

The wait is almost over for the SSE Airtricity Women's National League to return with the 2022 season kicking off on Saturday, March 5th.

Cork City will face Galway on Saturday, 5th Match at Turner's Cross, kick-off at 5pm. Tickets are available online via TicketCo.

Sligo Rovers come onboard to make it a 10-team format and excitement is building with every game available to watch for FREE via LOITV.

League of Ireland Director Mark Scanlon said: "I'm looking forward to the 2022 SSE Airtricity Women's National League getting underway with five great games to kick things off on Saturday.

"Women's football, and the League itself, has made some significant strides forward in the last few years and we aim to keep that going with every game available on LOITV, nine games set to be shown on TG4, the EVOKE.ie FAI Women's Cup Final on RTÉ2 and the return of spectators to stadiums.

"On and off the pitch, the continued development of the League is of paramount importance and that is reflected in the FAI Strategy 2022-2025. We all need to work together to ensure that we achieve our target - players, officials, administrators, sponsors, stakeholders and volunteers.

"There is plenty to look forward to with Sligo Rovers coming in as the 10th team, Shelbourne going into UEFA Women's Champions League qualifiers, challenges to build on record attendances and hopefully another title race to remember. I wish everyone involved the very best of luck and hope to see you at a game soon."
