Everton Ladies can confirm that they have been selected by the FA Women’s Football Board to play in Women’s Super League 1 for the 2017/18 season.
With Notts County’s liquidation opening up a slot in the top flight, two WSL 2 clubs applied to fill the vacancy, with the Blue Girls selected as the successful club.
The teams playing in the WSL1 for the 2017/18 season will be ratified at the FA’s AGM on Wednesday 28 June.
The decision sees the Toffees back in the top flight of women’s football after two seasons in WSL 2.
