The Story So Far
West Ham United have been drawn to host Brighton & Hove Albion in the fifth round of the Women’s FA Cup. The fixture stands as one of four all-Women’s Super League matchups scheduled for the last 16 of the tournament as the competition intensifies. This stage of the draw also features a repeat of the previous season's final between Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as a Merseyside derby.
