Women’s Under-21s prepare for 2024/25 campaign | OneFootball

Our Women’s Under-21s are set to return to Professional Game Academy League action this month, with just over a week until their 2024/25 campaign gets underway.

As part of preparations for the new season, the squad and coaching staff paid a visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this month for a player induction session, which included a new cohort of first years.

The event was led by newly-appointed Women’s Academy Technical Coaching Manager Nick Hardy – who will also take charge of the Under-21s side this season.

Competing in the Southern Division of the PGA League, they will face Arsenal, Charlton Athletic, London City Lionesses, Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea, Bristol City and Southampton in matches running from August to October.

The sides from the Southern and Northern divisions will then be split into two groups for phase two of the competition, where the top four from each section will be placed into Division One and the rest of the sides into Division Two.

The Under-21s will begin their campaign with a trip to the Gunners on Wednesday 28 August followed by the visit of Charlton Athletic on Wednesday 4 September in the first home fixture of the season.

For the first time this season, we will be publishing the full fixture list on our website alongside full-time results, where we will also be providing post-match reports and reaction to games. You can view phase one of the fixtures below.

Alongside participating in the league, they will compete in the PGA League Cup, where they have been drawn at home to Chelsea in the initial round, while taking part in the FA Women’s National League Plate competition, giving players the opportunity to face more competitive senior sides throughout the campaign.

In addition to the fixture list, we will also be uploading player profiles on the ‘Teams’ section on the website in the coming weeks, giving supporters the opportunity to get to know the next generation of players at Hotspur Way.
