US EditionKang's London City Lionesses promoted to WSL
- London City Lionesses earned their place in next season’s Women's Super League by drawing 2-2 with Birmingham City on the final day of the 2024-25 Women's Championship campaign.
- The Lionesses needed only a point to guarantee promotion after finishing the season two points ahead of Birmingham City atop the Championship standings.
- Isobel Goodwin, the Championship's top scorer with fifteen goals, opened the scoring and later sealed the draw that ensured the Lionesses' historic promotion as a fully independent club.
- Owner Michele Kang, who took over the club in December 2023 and focused on establishing a stable mid-table WSL team, expressed that achieving this milestone within a year demonstrates how effective investment and support can make ambitious goals attainable for an independent club.
- The promotion means London City Lionesses will enter the WSL next season as England's only standalone women's club outside men's football affiliations, breaking the second-tier cycle and aiming for long-term top-flight stability.
