Chelsea women to play all home games at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea FC Women have announced they will play all their home matches at Stamford Bridge from the start of next season, ending their nine-year spell at Kingsmeadow. The move marks a major milestone for the club, transitioning from the smaller Kingsmeadow stadium to the iconic 41,000-seat Stamford Bridge. Head coach Sonia Bompastor and CEO Aki Mandhar both highlighted the club’s ambition and the growing demand from supporters. The decision follows regular sell-out crowds at Kingsmeadow and aligns with trends seen at other top Women’s Super League clubs.
