Liverpool 2019–20 football season
The 2019–20 Liverpool F.C. Women season was the club’s 31st season of competitive football and its 10th season in the FA Women’s Super League, the highest level of the football pyramid, having been one of the league’s foundation clubs.[1] Along with competing in the WSL, the club also contested two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.
On 13 March 2020, in line with the FA’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, it was announced the season was temporarily suspended until at least 3 April 2020.[2][3] After further postponements, the season was ultimately ended prematurely on 25 May 2020 with immediate effect.[4] Liverpool sat bottom of the table at the time and were relegated on sporting merit after The FA Board’s decision to award places on a points-per-game basis.[5][6]
- As of 23 January 2020.[7][8]
Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
