It may be the third tier of continental football in Europe, behind the second tier Europa League and the first tier Champions League, but that doesn't mean the glamour is any less dazzling - with the teams' wives and girlfriends including a movie star.
And the women certainly boast brains as well as beauty, with a law graduate, tax expert and entrepreneur amid their ranks.
Here we take a look at the WAGs who are building up a fan base of their own.
CHELSEA
Cole Palmer and Connie Grace
Like Cole, 22-year-old Connie hails from Manchester, where she runs a nail salon.
She has built up an impressive social media following thanks to posts showcasing her stunning figure on sun-kissed trips to Jamaica, Ibiza and Dubai.
The cute couple have known each other since they were 17, but romance appears to have blossomed last summer when they were spotted together on a luxury boat in Ibiza after flying to the island on a private jet.
They finally went Insta-official in November at the GQ Men of the Year awards where she dazzled with the Blues midfielder in a daring cut-out dress.
In the documentary England's Lions: A New Generation, blonde Connie opened up about their relationship, saying: 'We met when we were 17. I think he knew me through mutual friends so I think he probably had his eye on me.
She added: "Oh, he's warm and cuddly. Well, with me, hopefully with no one else.'
She later explained that fame hasn't changed her partner, adding: 'Cole now is still the same Cole that I met when I was 17. Obviously, he's changed, he's grown up, and his life now is completely different, but he's still the same boy, he's still laid-back Cole.'

Cucurella and Claudia's love story began in 2018 in Barcelona when the left-back played for the Catalans.
The defender and model Claudia now share three children - Mateo, Rio and Bella - and she has recently opened up to fans about Mateo's autism diagnosis.
Stunning Claudia, 25, allowed cameras into their family home as part of the TV show Married to the Game, and said: 'We saw something different about Mateo when he was small, about 13 months old, but it was a long process to get the diagnosis. When he was smaller it was easier but now he's growing up, it's more difficult.
'When we moved to Chelsea, we started him at school and he was very upset, and we didn't know the solution. You have to find it yourself, and you feel very bad because you are not prepared for it.'
Despite the family's struggles, Claudia maintains a positive outlook and regularly posts glam pictures and snapshots of their daily lives on Instagram where she has amassed more than 130,000 followers.

But the hard-working young couple certainly know how to play hard too, regularly sharing posts on social media of their travels, trips to theme parks and their pet Pomeranian dog.
Noemie is also Filip's biggest fan, posting videos of herself wearing a Chelsea shirt with his name emblazoned across the back. In one of her posts she gushed: 'You have my heart Filip Jorgensen'.

Stunning blonde Mia is not just a pretty face - she studied law at Royal Holloway, University of London, and graduated in 2021.
She then went on to advise prisoners at HMP Coldingley about family matters.
Away from her legal career Mia has been dating Chelsea captain Reece for years, and they made their relationship public in November 2020 when James, 25, posted a picture with Mia on her birthday, calling her his 'best friend'.
Since then they've shared glimpses of their life together, including celebrating milestones and luxury holidays.
But Essex-born Mia recently decided to step away from the spotlight, making her social media profiles private.

Posting incredible snaps from their fairytale wedding, Tenerife-born Sara wrote: "Seven years, three children, four dogs... And a few days ago we said that we love each other again in front of the altar.'

In the run-up to this week's final, he broke down as he detailed his struggles at Old Trafford where he was so unhappy he went for days without eating.
But no doubt his loyal WAG Rosilene Silva was there to provide support. The couple were childhood sweethearts who met during their school days in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
In 2019 Rosilene and Antony welcomed a baby boy named Lorenzo. And last year the couple added a baby girl, Lavinne, to their brood.
The mum-of-two regularly shares photos enjoying days out with their young family on social media, with both parents besotted with their babies.

The couple, who already had one son, Martin, recently welcomed their second son Mateo into the world, with Tania posting a loving picture on social media captioned: 'Welcome to the world little prince. You have arrived to complete us. Seeing you and your brother together is the most beautiful thing our eyes have ever seen.'
The family returned to Spain when Fornals moved to Real Betis in 2024.

American midfielder Johnny joined Real Betis in December 2023 and prefers to let his football do the talking, keeping his private life under wraps.

Blonde Lela has almost 35k Instagram followers herself and regularly posts snapshots of the couple's glamorous lifestyle including a city break to Paris, a ski trip to the French alps, and beach holidays in Portugal, Marbella and Greece.
And she likes to keep super-active, sharing pictures of her practising yoga, skate-boarding and water-skiing.
It isn't known what Lela does for a career, but with her stunning good looks and burgeoning social media followers, she could soon be counted amongst the ranks of WAG influencers.

Jenny Powell looked sensational as she soaked up the sun in Miami on Saturday - but her day took an unexpected turn when a beach worker made a shock proposal. The TV presenter, 57, showed off her incredible figure in a skimpy zig-zag bikini as she shared a video with fans revealing the inappropriate comment made to her while she was hiring a sun lounger. Speaking to her Instagram followers in the clip, Jenny said she was just hours away from flying back to the UK after interviewing Gloria Estefan, but not before enjoying some last-minute sunshine. She told fans: 'So about three hours left till my car picks me up to take me back to the UK after interviewing Gloria Estefan, um happy days. 'In the meantime, getting the rays. Good news is, a brolly and a lounger just for a few hours is about $25 dollars as opposed to about 150 in Ibiza. So, that's good news.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newslette r to stay in the loop. She then revealed the shocking comment, adding: 'On the flip side, the guy who sorts out all the loungers and the brolly's here on the beach told me his wife's left him and that he's very virile and he fancied his chances. 'So, I've sent him on his way. Don't worry. And yeah, happy weekend everyone. You've gotta laugh, haven't you?' She comically captioned the bikini-clad clip: 'Bet you can relate ladies ! And well, God loves a trier (laughing emojis) Happy weekend .. see you in the other side !' It comes after Jenny flaunted her incredible figure in a green bikini last month, as she proudly showed off her surgery scars while wild swimming. The TV personality took to her Instagram Story to share a sizzling snap where she made the most of the heatwave by taking a dip in a pond. She looked nothing short of sensational as she displayed her extremely toned figure and washboard abs in the halterneck bikini set. Jenny wore her long brunette tresses in a voluminous bun to keep her hair out of the water and opted for a glowing palette of makeup to elevate her natural beauty. She seemed to be on cloud nine as she flashed a smile while dipping her feet into the water, captioning the post: 'Days like these #wildswimming uk scars 'n' all.' Jenny underwent a robotic hysterectomy last year to manage extreme symptoms as a result of the menopause. She has been open about her health battle and has often displayed her scars from the gruelling surgery as a way of raising awareness. In March, she displayed her incredible abs in a bikini as she proudly showed off her scars four months after having surgery. She looked sensational as she took to Instagram to share a collection of snaps, including bikini pictures from a trip to Hotel Les Deux Tours in Marrakech. Jenny wowed in a green and white tie-dye style triangle bikini, while in another mirror selfie, she sported a multicoloured striped skimpy two-piece. She captioned the snaps: 'Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory last forever. Thank you Shane Falco for these words… I'm living them! 'In the past week alone from hosting for amazing charities @athletic_minds_foundation @foundation92 @mftcharity to sharing my weekends as always on the radio @greatesthitsuk to rebooting @hotel_les_deux_tours. 'The balance is key and the energy is real .. shine on my lovelies. We all have scars inside and out .. it's the healing process that matters.' Just five months ago, Jenny underwent the hysterectomy and explained that the last two years have been the most difficult for her. She told OK!: 'Even though I tried to send out all these positive, smiley, "everything's lovely" vibes, I was suffering. 'I had terrible bleeding, really bad, to the point where I was changing four times a day and in a job like mine, that isn't good.' Jenny thinks that women's health is 'neglected' and that the concept of 'just getting used' to struggling is something that frustrates her. The Greatest Hits Radio host had been on a family holiday in her bikini last year when some paparazzi pictures of herself started doing the rounds in the media. When she saw the images, Jenny noticed a 'bump in [her] lower abdomen' which caused concern and she underwent an MRI. The scan revealed that her abdomen was as if she 'was about 16 weeks pregnant' with the amount of pressure it was under, and she felt compelled to share her story. She added: 'It was so big it was pressing on my intestines, on my bladder, on my kidneys. 'It's only looking back – now that it's gone – that I think, "Wow." And that's why I put it all out there.' In the images shared, Jenny posed in shorts as she gave a full view of the extent of her scars. The images had been taken over the course of a four-week time span, and the scarring became more dramatic as the days went on. Soon after undergoing the operation in early October, Jenny explained: 'I've suffered for so long with all sorts of symptoms and tried all sorts, but yeah it's time, so hence the hysterectomy. 'Because I'm menopausal of course things are different it's not like this is been brought on early. 'But I'm just wondering if they'll be any connection between it and my emotions. So it will be interesting. I'm just about to put my fancy gown on so come back later.' Jenny previously revealed she was forced into hospital after severe menopause symptoms left her struggling to 'get out of bed every day'. What is a hysterectomy? A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman's uterus. There are three kinds: PARTIAL HYSTERECTOMY: Removes two-thirds of the uterus. TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY: Removes uterus and cervix. RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY: Removes uterus, cervix and ovaries. The operation is most commonly performed on women between the ages of 40 and 49. More than 20 million American women have had a hysterectomy, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As women approach menopause, the odds that they will develop one of several serious uterine health conditions increases. Doctors may recommend a hysterectomy as a treatment for: fibroids endometriosis uterine (endometrial) cancer chronic uterine pain or bleeding collapsed uterus In some cases, doctors may suggest a hysterectomy as a preventative measure if a woman has significant warning or early signs of developing one or more of these conditions. When necessary, surgeons may also remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes, if these have also been damaged or are at serious risk of damage. The removal of reproductive organs sends a woman's body into menopause, no matter how old she is. This comes with unpleasant side effects like hot flashes, and many women have to start hormone therapy, taking oestrogen to balance out their own hormones.

Michelle Keegan shares sneak peek of baby daughter in sweet snap
Michelle Keegan took to social media to share another sweet sneak peek of her and Mark Wright's daughter, Palma, who was born in March Michelle Keegan has shared an adorable sneak peek at daughter Palma in a rare social media upload. The actress, 37, has slowed down posting her baby daughter on Instagram following her birth two months ago. Michelle, who shares baby Palma with husband Mark Wright, posted the cute black-and-white image on her grid on Tuesday. It showed the tot's feet, with Michelle writing: "Yep... my toes." It's the latest reveal from Michelle who seems to be flourishing in her new role as mother. Palma's aunt, Mark's sister Natalya Wright has also been posing with the baby. She took to Instagram last month, with the model & content creator sharing a collection of photographs from weeks gone by. Among the images were a number of her holding Palma in a variety of locations. The first photo showed Natalya holding her niece closely to her while they sat outside together. With the sun blazing above them, the duo were enjoying the shelter in the shade, while Palma sported a summer hat. Another image showed her expertly multitasking as she continued to carefully hold Palma while simultaneously bending down to stroke a dog. And a third snap showed Natalya relaxing on a sofa with Palma resting on top of her. In March, friends gushed how Mark and Michelle are in a perfect "love bubble" since the arrival of their first daughter. The baby - named after their Majorcan capital - was born at the beginning of March and was initially a very private moment. A source said at the time: 'They wanted to keep the news very private and bask in the glory of a new-born without any distractions without the world knowing. They are in a perfect love bubble with no external noises, and it's been total and utter bliss.' A frequent visitor to Michelle and Mark's £3.5million Essex mansion following Palma's arrival has been Michelle's mum. The couple even built a special 'granny flat' when they renovated their home to allow her to stay whenever she likes and for long periods. Jackie often stays at Michelle's home, posting pictures from the house at Christmas and January as she looked out over their expansive garden and pool. A source said she has been supporting Michelle since the birth. 'Jackie is over the moon to be a grandma,' they said. 'Palma is her first grandchild and she is besotted, as are the whole family. She's so proud of Michelle.' Prior to Palma's birth, Jackie had shared her excitement about becoming a grandma. "I'm am so excited," she wrote on Instagram in December, when people started calling her Grandma. Jackie - who also has son Andrew - and Michelle have a close relationship.
