Newcastle United announce move to Gateshead International Stadium
Newcastle United have announced the news that they will stage this season's home fixtures at Gateshead International Stadium. WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Magpies this morning. It is understood that the decision is as a result of Newcastle United needing to secure access to a natural grass pitch that will see them meet Barclays Women's Super League rules and regulations. The Magpies will invest in upgrading the pitch and surrounding facilities at Gateshead International Stadium as part of the move. The move sees Newcastle United end their long partnership with Newcastle Falcons RUFC and their Kingston Park venue. It was not possible to install a natural grass pitch at Kingston Park to allow The Magpies to extend their stay. Following this morning's announcement, Newcastle United's head of women's football, Su Cumming said 'This is an exciting new chapter in the history of Newcastle United Women. 'The club has achieved incredible growth and success in recent years, and we are putting these important building blocks in place to continue our exciting journey. 'We are, of course, sad to leave Kingston Park, where we have built so many memories both as a training base and home stadium. 'We respect the needs of Newcastle Falcons, and we thank everyone at the club for their support, but this is the right time to make the move as we pursue a place in the WSL. 'We are committed to working with our amazing supporters along the way and hope as many people as possible will be able to make the short trip with us to our new home. 'I also want to extend gratitude to GLL, Gateshead Council and Gateshead Football Club. We're excited about the future and look forward to working with them.' Newcastle United kick-off the new season with a fixture at Nottingham Forest on Sunday 7 September 2025.
