West Ham are SLAMMED by their own women's team after being snubbed of the opportunity to face at the London Stadium... with Hammers' U18s chosen ahead of the WSL side

West Ham Women have turned on the club for not showcasing them at the London Stadium.

It comes as the Hammers’ Under 18s prepare to face Southampton in the FA Youth Cup semi-finals at the 62,500-capacity ground, where the men’s team play home matches.

Barclays’ sponsorship deal for the WSL includes a provision that at least one game per season must be played at the men’s stadium, but West Ham’s team are still awaiting their chance.

Manchester United Women hosted West Ham at Old Trafford last week in front of 27,919 supporters, and Chelsea Women have played at Stamford Bridge and Arsenal Women at the Emirates this season, each attracting large crowds.
