The criteria used to choose the four participating PGAs will be established in the coming months, while the framework will be reviewed each year to assess its effects.
Further changes will provide WNL clubs with central funding for the first time, establish academies for WNL teams, and adjust the loan system so professional clubs are encouraged to send players to teams competing in the third and fourth tiers.
Sue Day, the FA’s director of women’s football, said the women’s game has entered a crucial phase of its development and that the reforms are designed to support sustainable growth for many years.
She added that action is needed now to tackle major challenges. To maintain progress, the FA Women’s National League must develop alongside the professional game, while more pathways must be created for talented young English players to gain experience in senior football.
Achieving the right balance is vital to the national team’s long-term success, which helps increase the sport’s profile and supports its expansion at every level.
The FA Women’s National League remains a central part of the women’s football pyramid, with a distinctive character that is considered highly valuable.
