About our London City Lionesses news
Latest news on London City Lionesses, the professional women's football club competing in England's Championship under Michele Kang's ownership.
London City Lionesses, formed in 2019 as an independent breakaway from Millwall Lionesses, has quickly established itself as an ambitious force in English women's football. Based at Hayes Lane in Bromley with a capacity of 5,150, the club competes in the Women's Championship and has assembled an impressive international squad under the ownership of Michele Kang.
The club has undergone significant transformation since Kang's acquisition in December 2023. Under her leadership, the Lionesses have made headline-grabbing moves, including the signing of Swedish captain Kosovare Asllani and the appointment of former Paris St-Germain manager Jocelyn Prêcheur. The club has also relocated to Hayes Lane as part of its strategic development plan.
With a diverse squad featuring players from 12 different nations, including England internationals Danielle Carter and Emily Orman, the Lionesses have created a unique multicultural environment in South London. The club has built strong connections with the local community while maintaining professional standards that attract top talent from across the globe.
The club's journey from its origins as Millwall Lionesses to an independent entity marks a significant chapter in English women's football history. After facing financial challenges in 2023, which led to a collective player appeal for new investment, the club's acquisition by Kang has opened new possibilities. The creation of Kynisca Sports International in July 2024 further positioned the club within a global network alongside Washington Spirit and Olympique Lyonnais Féminin.
