As a club, we’re fully supporting AFC Wimbledon Women as they aim to make further progress – and we’re pleased to announce an agreement for them to play at least four games at our stadium next season.
In addition, the hope is that the Dons could play up to eight women’s first-team games at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in 2023/24.
The agreement has been reached following discussions between The Dons Trust Board, AFC Wimbledon Women's Chair David Growns, and the board of AFCW PLC.
The Dons Trust supports and funds AFC Wimbledon Women directly.
Speaking about the announcement, Chair of The Dons Trust Kris Stewart, said: “Plough Lane is home to all of AFC Wimbledon, and we’re delighted that our women’s team will be playing up to eight matches back at their home next season. We’ve agreed a minimum of four matches, but we always strive to be ambitious, and so we hope that ends up being more.
“Wherever AFC Wimbledon Women play, they are an exciting, vibrant and growing part of the Dons family. We wish to praise the Chair David Growns and his fellow directors, volunteers, the manager Kevin Foster, his entire team, and the club’s General Manager, Sophia Axelsson. It’s their collective hard work that makes success for our wonderful women’s team possible.
“We’d also like to pay thanks to the staff of AFC Wimbledon, who also provide support and help to our women’s team.”
Managed by Kevin Foster, the Dons finished as runners up last season in the FA Women’s National League Division One South East and reached the final of the Capital Cup.
Other fixtures for AFC Wimbledon Women will be played at Carshalton Athletic Football Club, War Memorial Sports Ground, Colston Avenue, Carshalton.
