We are proud to extend this to women’s football in England. “2011 is an exciting year for the sport, with both the launch of the WSL and the FIFA Women’s World Cup Germany. It is sure to be a year that will prove important to the game and offer encouragement to the stars of the future, Continental is proud to be a part of this.”

Alex Horne, General Secretary at The FA, added: “With England’s International Women’s teams doing so well on the world stage and participation levels here at such a high, it’s vital we have a competitive, well structured and, critically, commercially sustainable league at the top of the women’s game.”
