The Wellington Phoenix women reached the A-League grand final for the first time in the 2025-26 season.
The Wellington Phoenix women started this A-League season with a two-year project in mind. The plan was on fast forward when the club reached the grand final for the first time in the club's history, but there was a speed bump in Melbourne.
A 3-1 loss to Melbourne City in the grand final on Saturday ended the Phoenix's season without silverware.
In playing finals football for the first time in their five seasons in the competition, the Phoenix were finally among the top sides after four seasons closer to the bottom than the top.
