Portsmouth Football Club are delighted to announce that Pompey Women are to be integrated alongside the men's team under the ownership of The Tornante Company.
This is part of a move that will see new investment into the women's team, allowing semi-professional contracts to be offered to players for the first time.
Jane Eisner will become the side's new chair, while outgoing chair Eric Coleborn is to remain as a director.
Also serving on the board are Georgia Eisner, Stacey Eisner, Terena Eisner, Eric Eisner, Andy Redman, Clare Martin MBE and Val Cohen.
Former directors Helen Chivers and Bill Griffiths have both been appointed as honorary vice-presidents, while Jay Sadler will remain as head coach.
After an encouraging season on the pitch, becoming semi-professional will help Pompey Women to retain their brightest footballing talents, attract new players and progress to the next level.
It also provides a fantastic legacy for women's and girls' football in the area, as Portsmouth Football Club continue to celebrate their 125th anniversary.
The women's team will benefit from additional support from executive staff at the club, while the plan is for at least two fixtures during the 2023/24 season to take place at Fratton Park.
