Aston Villa Women Secure Secondary Home at Hednesford Town
Aston Villa Women have secured a landmark deal to play cup matches at Hednesford Town's Keys Park, marking a significant milestone for the club's development. The agreement will see the team play their Women's FA Cup and Subway Players Cup matches at the non-league club's home venue, with Villa Park remaining the team's primary home.
Why it matters for Aston Villa Women
The deal is a testament to the club's commitment to developing its women's team and providing them with a suitable platform to compete. Hednesford Town's Keys Park has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years, featuring a state-of-the-art hybrid playing surface that will provide an excellent surface for the team to play on.
What comes next?
Villa Women will make their Keys Park debut on August 30, when they host West Ham in a pre-season friendly. The team will also have access to coach travel and a shuttle service from Hednesford railway station on matchdays, if there is sufficient demand.
As Aston Villa Women continue to grow and develop, this agreement with Hednesford Town is a significant step forward for the club. With their Women's Super League matches remaining at Villa Park, the team will have a solid foundation to build on, and the opportunity to play at Keys Park will provide a new challenge and experience for the players.
