Manager Anna Gauvain said: "We’re delighted to have been accepted. This is the next step in our development, and I am thrilled to lead the girls into our next challenge. Roll on next season."
Nic Legg, Communications & Commercial Director, added: "Securing Step 6 football is fantastic news and the realisation of stage three of our three-year plan. I’m so excited for the team, especially the young players coming through, what a platform they now have with Victoria Park to train and play locally, and 11 new teams to test themselves against in the UK.
"We’d be delighted to hear from any businesses that would like to partner with us and sponsor the Green Lionesses as we play in the UK pyramid for the very first time, and help us take the next step.
"There is no better time to get involved, with Maya Le Tissier currently at her first major tournament with the Lionesses, this will further inspire our own Green Lionesses.”
Fixtures will be released in August. News on season tickets will be out very soon, with club season tickets available, as well as women’s-only season tickets.
