The 2014 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 27th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the fourth edition of the FA WSL, England's top flight for women's football since 2011. Arsenal also played in the FA Women's Cup, and the FA WSL Cup, winning the former against Everton in June. [1] They also competed in the UEFA Women's Champions League, losing at the Quarter Final stage to Birmingham City, triggering a 5-year exile from the competition. [2] After a poor start to the season, including three straight home defeats, Shelley Kerr stood down as Arsenal manager following the FA Cup Final win over Everton, and was replaced on an interim basis by their Centre of Excellence, John Bayer, and then later by Kelly Smith, who operated in a player-manager capacity. [3] On the 29th August, Arsenal appointed Pedro Martinez Losa to be their full-time manager. [4] [5]
As this season bridged the gap between the Men's Team's 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons, the team wore two different sets of kits during each half of the season.
