The 2013 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 26th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the third 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 Bristol Academy in June[1] and the latter against Lincoln in October.[2] They also competed in the UEFA Women's Champions League, losing at the Semi Final stage to Wolfsburg.[3] In December 2012, manager Laura Harvey left Arsenal to take charge of Seattle Reign.[4] In February 2013, Shelley Kerr was appointed to manage Arsenal ahead of the new WSL season.[5] In September 2013, Arsenal were charged with playing an unregistered player in their trip to Liverpool.[6] The resulting three point deduction saw them fall to third place and miss out on qualifying for Europe in the 2014–15 season.
