The Sikkim Women's Football League,[1] earlier known as Sikkim Women's Super League, is the top division of women's football league in the Indian state of Sikkim. The league is organised by the Sikkim Football Association (SFA), the official football governing body of the state.[2]
The inaugural season was held in 2023 and was won by SSA Soreng.[3][4]
Format
The league features six teams, namely Young Girls FC, Pakyong United FC, Northerners Girls FC, Soreng Girls Academy, Dentam Girls Academy and Southerners Girls. The league offers women players the opportunity to excel and gain recognition. Teams are allowed a maximum of 25 players, including five players from outside the state. The league is designed for each team to play at least five matches. The winners of the Sikkim Women’s Super League will be nominated to participate in the IWL 2nd Division.[2][5][6]
