Women’s Super League 2026-27 preview No 14: West Ham

The Story So Far
West Ham United Women head into the 2026-27 Super League season with manager Rita Guarino receiving increased support in the transfer market. After steering the club toward better results during the previous term, the manager has been granted funds to bolster the squad. However, observers have raised concerns regarding the team's long-term resource levels compared to their rivals. Media projections suggest a difficult campaign, with an average predicted finish of eleventh place. This would represent a one-position drop from their tenth-place standing at the end of last year. The club now aims to defy these expectations while managing its existing developmental assets.
