Bescot Stadium announced as venue for 2025 women’s cup final
The FA Women’s National League (WNL) has announced that this season’s League Cup Final will be taking place at Walsall FC’s Poundland Bescot Stadium.
The 11,300-capacity stadium is already host to Barclays Women’s Super League side Aston Villa, who play all their Adobe Women’s FA Cup and Women’s League Cup ties at the stadium. Eight teams are still left in the competition, with Plymouth Argyle, Watford, Hashtag United, Real Bedford, Burnley, Stoke City, Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest all hoping to win the 33rd edition of the cup.
The FA Women’s National League Cup is an annual competition open to the 72 teams in the WNL and works in a knockout process through the rounds. The Final was held last year at Luton Town’s Kenilworth Road where Hashtag United came from a goal down to beat Newcastle United 2-1 in front of 3719 spectators. The current holders who are still in this year’s competition, could end up lifting the trophy for the second year running, a feat which has previously been achieved by Arsenal, Blackburn Rovers, Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur.
With half of this year’s Quarter-Finalists currently sitting in the top three of their respective leagues, the Final, which will be played on the weekend of 22-23 March 2025, will celebrate the best of the Women’s National League with a trophy at stake.
