Women's NST thread

WSL expanding in 26/27 with more automatic pro/rel between leagues:

Should definitely be possible given the investment going into the women's game and ideally they should be looking towards introducing pro/rel in the future, similar to the men's NST.

My comment was tongue-in-cheek on how extremely risk-averse the football economy is here.
 
I feel like we're at the stage that we need to implement a national competition for the women's NPL leagues.

An NST for women's seems almost zero chance today, but what about a post NPL season Champions League competition? Or the Women's Australia Cup that was on Johnson's to do list?

Do you have a preference? How many spots would each federation receive?

If it's a knockout cup, 32 teams is probably too much. Would 16 be ok? Would you then exclude the A-League teams?

Or a Champions League. Would you just have the eight NPL winners? Play a single league? Or two groups?

Just found WSL2 is free on YouTube! I'm watching Newcastle vs Sunderland. Looks like a massive crowd.

Late as fuck but in many countries the WSL is on there too. Australia doesn’t though since we have Stan Sport. The WSL2 is on there here because Stan Sport doesn’t have it.

First we would need professionalism since a lot of A-League players play NPL in the offseason. Once we get a pro Dub then women’s equivalents for the Championship and of course the Australia Cup would be the next step.

Hopefully this would entice NPL clubs to pay attention to the women’s game. Sydney United for example are nowhere to be seen in the women’s game (other than a Facebook account called Sydney United Girls I can’t find any info about a senior women’s team).

I think a professional A-League Women in the timeframe proposed by the PFA isn't sustainable given how Dub season 2026-27 is only six months away but after professionalism is achieved then the next step would ideally be a women's equivalent of the Hahn Australia Cup.
