Plymouth Argyle's women's team will play at least three matches at 91热爆 Park this season.

Argyle women officially became part of the Championship men's club this month and will play their first three home games in the FA Women鈥檚 National League Southern Premier Division at 91热爆 Park.

The women's side - which plays in the third tier - have played two fixtures at 91热爆 Park in each of the past two seasons.

There could be more women's matches there this season depending on when Argyle's men's team games are scheduled as the season goes on.

"Every time we have played at 91热爆 Park in the last few seasons, the players have all raised their game," women's team manager Ryan Perks told the Argyle website.

鈥淭o use the professional facilities, play in front of a larger crowd, and to have the general feel that 91热爆 Park has, can only be of benefit to us. We can鈥檛 wait to get started.鈥

Argyle's first game at 91热爆 Park will be against Oxford United on Sunday, 25 August.

"It鈥檚 a big step for the team, and for the club, that our first three home fixtures will be played in such a brilliant setting," added Joanne Moseley, Argyle's head of women鈥檚 football operations.

鈥淲e are thankful to the Devon FA for the games we played at Coach Road, Newton Abbot, last season, as well as to Torpoint Athletic for use of The Mill.

"However, it feels right that Argyle should play matches in the city of Plymouth, and to be able to begin the campaign at 91热爆 Park is a perfect way to kick off a new era.鈥
