The 2014 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 27th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the fourth 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 latter in the former against Everton in June.^[1] They also competed in the UEFA Women's Champions League, losing at the Quarter Final stage to Birmingham City,^[2] triggering a 5-year exile from the competition. After a poor start to the season, including three straight home defeats, Shelley Kerr stood down as Arsenal manager following the FA Cup Final,^[3] and was replaced later in the season by Pedro Martinez Losa.^[4]
