Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall is confident the new Barclays Women’s Super League campaign can live up to expectations and deliver a high-quality product on the pitch, and has called for more WSL games to be played at bigger stadiums.
After all English football fixtures were postponed last weekend as a mark of respect following the Queen’s death, Arsenal’s home game against Brighton at Meadow Park will kick off the season on Friday night.
Following England’s success in Euro 2022 this summer, there is more interest than ever in the new WSL campaign.

Jonas Eidevall believes that England’s Euro success could help his Arsenal side going into the new WSL season.
Four Arsenal players – Lionesses skipper Leah Williamson, Golden Boot winner Beth Mead, Nikita Parris (now at Manchester United) and Lotte Wubben-Moy – were part of Sarina Weigman’s squad who beat Germany at Wembley in front of a competition-record 87,192 attendance at Wembley.
On the back of that success, several WSL clubs have seen a boost in season-ticket sales.
