Everton Women were founded in 1983, initially under the name Hoylake FC before merging with Dolphins YC to be known as Leasowe, and competed under this name for 12 years.
It was not until 1995 that they officially became affiliated with Everton, and that was after they won five regional titles and reached the FA Cup final.
Their biggest achievement came in 1998 as they became National Premier League Champions, but they have not matched this since.
Everton Women have since competed in Europe and at the top of the English divisions, but were also relegated in 2014.
After two years in the WSL2, Everton were promoted back to the top flight again, and have remained there ever since.
They have played their home games at Walton Hall Park since 2020, which is a ground belonging to them rather than being shared with anyone else, but there have been suggestions that they could move to a reduced capacity Goodison Park in future years.
Everton Women manager
Sorensen has been in charge of Everton Women since 2022, having previously held roles across Women’s football in Scandinavia.
The 44-year-old has previously worked at IK Skovbakken, Fortuna Hjorring and FC Nordsjaelland, before moving to Merseyside on an initial two-year contract.
His work at Fortuna Hjorring saw him reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League in an unexpected feat, but he took a short break from management shortly after.
Having since impressed in his role at Everton, he signed another two-year deal to remain at Walton Hall Park in April 2024.
Everton Women honours
Everton Women are one of the more successful Women’s sides in English football, and have several titles to their name and a host of second-place finishes.
Their biggest success came in 1998, but they have had a few tastes of glory in the years that followed, although their results have slipped this season.
