The FA "has agreed to expand" the Women's Super League for the start of the '16 season, according to the BBC. Clubs from the new-look Women's Premier League "will compete for entry" from the '14-15 season, starting on Aug. 24. FA Women's Football Dir Kelly Simmons said, "This is a real milestone in the development of women's football in England." The Women's Super League "currently consists of two divisions -- an eight-team WSL 1 and a 10-team WSL 2." For the start of the '16 season, "one WPL club will join WSL 2, with another joining the following season" (BBC, 6/23).
