The showpiece could be played in front of a crowd of up to 9,000 spectators, with fans due back after Chelsea, as part of a domestic treble, beat Bristol City 6-0 in last season’s final at Watford’s Vicarage Road behind closed doors.

Kelly Simmons, the FA’s director of the women’s professional game, said: “We wanted a really intimate stadium that could potentially generate a really good atmosphere.

“We feel we have that in AFC Wimbledon and we are really looking forward to welcoming fans for this final, who I am sure will create a really good buzz within the stadium.”
