Alexander Stadium named as new Albion Women home
The Alexander Stadium has been named as the new home for West Bromwich Albion Women.
The club have signed an agreement for Siobhan Hodgetts-Stills’ team to play league matches at the arena for the upcoming 2025/26 campaign.
The 17,500 all-seater ground, which hosted the 2022 Commonwealth Games, boasts worldclass facilities and is located just four miles from The Hawthorns.
The first match there will be the FAWNL Northern Premier Division game against Stoke City on Sunday, September 14.
“This is another significant step forward for our women’s football programme,” said Sporting Director, Andrew Nestor.
“We are committed to the advancement of our women's first team, and this is a crucial component for the club's progression. This venue move will ensure our players and coaches are working in top-class facilities at home fixtures, and that our supporters enjoy a vibrant and welcoming match day experience within our local community.
"I want to make special mention to all our women's first team leadership and club staff and thank them for their work in securing this stadium partnership. We look forward to welcoming our fans to the Alexander Stadium.”
Manager Siobhan Hodgetts-Still added: “It’s a really great venue to be playing our games at this season.”
“It brings us much closer to our area, which will hopefully continue to grow our fanbase.
“And it also shows the ambition of the ownership group and the football club; in terms of the direction we believe we’re heading.”
“It is fantastic to welcome West Bromwich Albion Women to the Alexander Stadium for their home games in the Women's National League North this season,” said Councillor Mariam Khan, Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care.
“Their presence here highlights the stadium’s redevelopment into a world class, multi-sport venue with outstanding facilities and reaffirms our commitment to supporting local teams as they grow and develop.
“I wish the team a successful season and am looking forward to welcoming the players, as well as their fans and supporters cheering in the stadium’s stands this season.”
