About our Aston Villa Women news
Latest news on Aston Villa Women, providing comprehensive coverage of results, fixtures, transfers, and match reports on the WSL club based in Birmingham.
Aston Villa Women compete in the Women's Super League (WSL), the top tier of English women's football. The club plays home WSL matches at Villa Park, sharing the iconic Birmingham ground with the men's team. Led by head coach Natalia Arroyo and captained by former England international Rachel Daly, the Villans have established themselves as a competitive force in the division.
Villa returned to top-flight football after winning the Women's Championship in 2019-20, ending a 16-year absence from the highest level. The club achieved their best-ever WSL finish of fifth place in 2022-23, driven by Daly's Golden Boot-winning season of 22 goals. The team continues to build under Spanish manager Arroyo, who joined midway through the 2024-25 campaign.
The Birmingham club boasts several high-profile players alongside Daly, including internationals such as goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo, midfielder Missy Bo Kearns, and defender Anna Patten. The Second City derby against Birmingham City remains one of the most passionate fixtures in the women's game, continuing a rivalry that mirrors the intensity of the men's teams.
Originally formed as Solihull FC in 1973, the club affiliated with Aston Villa in 1989 as Villa Aztecs before becoming the official women's team in 1996. The Villans won the Women's Premier League Cup in 2013, their first major trophy. The move to play all WSL home fixtures at Villa Park demonstrates the club's commitment to growing women's football in the Midlands.
