Forest Green Rovers have announced that they will not field a women's team for the 2026-27 season. The club will also end its partnership with Hartpury University's training centre for young female players. Last season, the women's team finished second in the South West Regional Women's Football League Premier Division, narrowly missing promotion. The decision aims to streamline finances as the team focuses on improving its men's side, which has struggled to regain EFL status after relegation in 2024. The club expressed hopes of reestablishing a women's program in the future under sustainable conditions.
