Women's FA Cup trophy

Women's team to face Chelsea in Adobe Women's FA Cup fourth round

West Ham United women's team have been drawn against holders Chelsea in the fourth round of the Adobe Women's FA Cup. 

The two sides will meet at Kingsmeadow on Sunday 14 January 2024, with ticketing details to be confirmed in due course. 

Former West Ham captain Gilly Flaherty, who led the Irons to the 2019 Women’s FA Cup final, joined host Flo Lloyd Hughes for the draw in a collaboration between the FA and the Counter Pressed podcast. 

The Irons reached the fifth round last season, defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers before being eliminated by Aston Villa in a penalty shootout.

Chelsea are five time winners of the competition, and are the current holders, having beaten Manchester United 1-0 at Wembley in April in last season's final. 

The two sides have already met this season in the Barclays Women's Super League in October, when the Hammers produced a spirited performance in a 2-0 defeat in west London.
