London City Lioness head coach Jocelyn Prêcheur insists that everyone associated with the club is not naive about the size of the women's Premier League, as it was the first time to reach the top flight on Sunday's final day of the championship season drama.

The Lioness will be the first club to beat WSL players 2-2 in second place in Birmingham City. The Lioness trained in Kent and played in Hayes Lane of Bromley on both sides of the men's league, hoping to break the trend of struggling in the promotion team and recover directly to Bristol City's only six points in the WSL in the 2023-24 campaign, while Nine's Nine Cryte only scored six points in the season, the second time in the season, in Nine's Nine Racing, which is the number of playoffs, with the remaining race accumulating only 10 points and 7 points behind.

“Of course, we think of what happened in the last two seasons,” promotion team,” Prêcheur, a former Paris Saint-Germain coach, took over the Lioness last summer. “We don’t want to have the same story, which means we need to make sure we’re strong enough, and that’s going to be tough.

"I'm not naive - I know there's a big gap between the champion and the WSL. (celebration) I'm going to get back to work and start making sure the staff and players look at what priorities are and the issues we need to make sure we can compete."

Still, Lioness owner Michele Kang, who also has the Washington spirit of French club Lyon and the U.S. side, insists that they immediately intend to be a mid-range WSL team, revealed after Sunday’s game that her recruitment team will start “Monday Morning” recruitment team in the summer transfer window.

“Recruiting is actually much easier,” she said. “Many top players don’t want to join the championship team, but now we’re in the WSL, I think it’s going to be easier to recruit. We’re very, very excited.

"We've been building teams at least on the first day to become mid-level WSL. It remains to be seen, but we've seen so many clubs rise and then come down, so we're actually at least one person in the mid-term, who knows, who knows."
