Women’s League to expand with new team, Yadanabon confirmed
CERTAIN new teams will join the 2026-2027 Myanmar Women’s League, while Yadanabon FC have officially confirmed they will form a women’s team and compete in the tournament.
One club is expected to enter next season’s competition. Yadanabon have already announced their participation, while most of the nine teams from last season are also expected to continue. With a new team joining, the total number of participating clubs could rise to around 10 in the next season.
The 2026-2027 Myanmar Women’s League is scheduled to begin in mid-June, with the participating teams and fixture list likely to be confirmed by the end of this month.
According to Yadanarbon’s recent official statement, the club will soon announce the management staff, coaching team and player list for their newly formed women’s side. Yadanabon were one of the most successful clubs during the early MNL era and remain a club with strong traditions. Following a recent ownership change, the club is now also moving forward with plans to establish a women’s team.
Around half of the clubs competing in the 2026-2027 Myanmar National League season have already formed women’s teams. These include Myawady FC, Institute of Sports and Physical Education FC, Yangon United FC, Shan United FC, Thitsa Arman FC, Yangon City FC and Yadanabon.
The Myanmar Women’s League was first launched in late 2016. Myawady and ISPE have each won the title three times, while Ayeyawady United FC have won once and is the current champions. – Ko Nyi Lay/KZL
