Pioneering Female Participation

Girls Football Academy & Pathways

We value our female players enormously. Having started in 2014 by integrating girls into open sessions, we launched our standalone girls academy squad in 2019. Two of our female players have since progressed into elite squads at Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
