A total of 198 players have registered for the nine clubs that will compete in the tournament organised by Santo Island’s Sanma FA.
The competition, which will run until the end of August, will also feature female coaches and eight female referees.
Local women’s football development officer Joella Avock said the new league will provide the best young players with a pathway to the elite level.
“The launch of a junior league for women’s football in Luganville and Sanma is a dream come true.
