Following promotion to Barclays WSL2, Ipswich Town will be playing their home games at Colchester United FC.
The two-year agreement comes after over a decade at Felixstowe & Walton United FC, which does not meet the requirements of the second tier competition.
The club intend that The Tractor Girls will again get to play at Portman Road once in the forthcoming season and during their time in Essex, will look to secure a permanent home for the team within the Ipswich area.
Rachel Harris, Ipswich Town’s Head of Women’s Football, told itfc.co.uk: “It was fitting we secured promotion at the Martello Ground given how much hard work has been put in there over the years and we are supremely grateful for the hospitality and support we have been shown by everyone at Felixstowe & Walton United during our time there.
“With the additional requirements and challenges following promotion to the second tier for the first time, it sadly wasn’t possible to maintain the Martello as our home. We’re excited to be playing our WSL2 games at Colchester and we can’t wait to welcome our fans to the stadium as we make the step up next season.”
