Women's Professional Leagues Limited, which is owned by clubs, completes a deal to take over the top two tiers of English women's football.
A new independent company owned by clubs which has taken over the top two tiers of English women's football can elevate the game to "unprecedented levels", says its chief executive.
WPLL – which was known as NewCo before the deal was done – will be led by former Nike director Nikki Doucet, who said English women's football has had “unprecedented growth", but can go further. With the change of ownership now complete, BBC Sport takes a look at what is different and what might be on the horizon.Doucet now manages England's top two leagues and chairs a body which is owned by the clubs competing in each division.
Firstly, the company is unlikely to be called the WPLL for long and a renaming will take place in the near future.
