Aberdeen FC Women find out SWPL 1 Opening day fixture
They'll get the League season underway at home on September 5th.
The SWPL 2 Champions Aberdeen will play hosts to the runners up of last season's SWPL 1, Celtic, on the first day of the season.
The SWPL 1 gets underway on September 5th, and it'll be a real test for Emma Hunter's side as they take on Celtic.
As of now, the venue for the Dons home fixtures is listed as Cormack Park, but it's believed that will change with the league requiring a stand at all venues.
The SWPL 2 Champions will meet the SWPL 1 Champions, Glasgow City, on October 24th, again at home.
And the season wraps up next May with Emma Hunter's side on the road to Motherwell.
Scottish Women’s Football Chair, Vivienne MacLaren, said: “We’re delighted to confirm the fixtures for the SWPL season ahead. Both leagues came down to the wire last season and everyone is excited for league football to return.
“It’s hard to imagine SWPL being more competitive but the move to expand both leagues to 10 teams is very positive. Both Aberdeen and Hamilton Academical were deservingly promoted and will add new dynamics to SWPL 1. While SWPL 2 will feature eight teams this season, I have no doubt it will remain one of the most competitive leagues in Scottish football and will look forward to welcoming three new Championship teams in 2022/23.
"2021/22 will also likely see fans return to matches across the board after some clubs being able to open their doors to spectators last season.
“I’m sure players, teams, clubs, and club officials will be excited by the return of fans to SWPL matches. Throughout the last 18 months, the priority for SWF has been the safety of those involved in our game whilst also working to ensure the visibility of our game grows. We feel we’ve accomplished this and want to continue that in 2021/22 whilst also welcoming fans back to matches.”
