• Men’s team relegated to National League in 2024

• Club hope women’s football will return in future

Forest Green Rovers have disbanded their women’s team for the 2026-27 season so that they can “concentrate their resources” on trying to return their men’s team to the English Football League.

The Gloucestershire club’s women’s side finished second in their regional division of the fifth tier of the English pyramid last term, narrowly missing out on promotion to the fourth tier by one point behind the champions, Torquay. They lost just one league match across the season.
