Women's Championship to Trial Alcohol Consumption in Stands

The initiative aims to assess the impact of allowing alcohol at games, differentiating from men's football regulations.

The trial will take place at two yet-to-be-selected clubs in the Women's Championship.
Alcohol consumption in view of the pitch has been banned in men's football since 1985 to combat hooliganism.
The Women's Professional Leagues Ltd (WPLL) believes the fan behavior in women's football supports this trial.
Women's football in England has not experienced the same hooliganism issues as men's football.
The WPLL, now managing the top two tiers of women's football, is seeking to enhance fan experience while ensuring safety.
