Fresh tensions have erupted between West Ham and their London Stadium landlords due to a dispute over the cost of staging matches in the Women’s Super League.
West Ham’s female side have not used the ground at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park since one match in 2019, which has become a source of friction among elements of the fanbase and a matter of some urgency at board level.
West Ham were conspicuous as the only side of the 12 in the WSL to not play a single fixture in the 2024-25 campaign at the larger grounds used by their corresponding men’s teams.
