Birmingham City are promoted back to the WSL as WSL2 champions! Investment from the club in January pays off as the club's record signing Wilma Leidhammar scores twice on the decisive final day of the season. It's a truly great day for Amy Merricks' team. #BarclaysWSL2 #BCFCwomen
[2/2] These accounts relate to last season, when BCFC finished 2nd in #BarclaysWSL2 and missed out on promotion behind London City Lionesses, whose exact wage bill has not been disclosed so a direct comparison isn't easy, but LCL's operating loss was £10.6m last term. #BCFCwomen
Birmingham City Women's financial accounts for 2024-25 show a profit of £141k.
- Turnover £6.1m, up £68% from £3.63m in 23-24
- Matchday receipts £62k (four-fold increase)
- Total wage bill £2.47m, up from £1.72m
Also big investment from Knighthead in facilities [1/2]

HT: Birmingham City 1-0 Chatham Town, with Océane Hurtré's cross-cum-shot separating the teams at the break. #BCFCwomen could and probably should be several goals ahead but the fourth-tier visitors fought well. #WomensFACup

Amy Merricks after #BCFCwomen's defeat tonight: "Our energy and intent was nowhere near where it needed to be in the first half. I was pleased with the pride and the fight shown in the second half but we were nowhere near it in that first half." #BarclaysWSL2
