Women & Girls
Women & girls' football is on the rise in London!
Women and girls' football continues to be the number one female team sport in England, with almost three million females playing the game!
There are now more opportunities than ever before for women and girls in London to get involved in the game - regardless of age, ability or ambitions.
Whether you want to be part of the next generation of Lionesses and take to the world stage or just want to play casually, there's an opportunity for you.
The sessions take place on a weekly basis either after school or at weekends, subject to local organisers.

The league is a competitive and league recognised as some of the best football in the area.
There are two divisions at most age groups and the league will run a preliminary league at the start of the season before splitting into A and B divisions.
There are typically 7 or 8 teams in each division, and they will play each other once in the preliminary league and then twice in the A and B divisions thus playing 18 to 21 competitive league matches in addition to the Challenge Cup, which is hosted at each age group.
New girls' divisions will be running from season 2019/20 at the age groups U10, U12, U14.
For further information please contact League Secretary Karen Greene on 07785 224888.
The league catchment area is inside a corridor from the Thames down the A23 to Crawley, and the Thames down the A20 to Tunbridge Wells.
There are 100 clubs with nearly 600 competing teams.
The league offers girls-only football at U9, U11 and U13; however, the league will also support any other age ranges that evolve throughout the season.

100FC
100FC is a game-changing programme backed by significant investment from the Wembley National Stadium Trust. In line with the FA’s national strategy for women’s and girls’ football, we are leading the drive regionally, with a three-year project to recruit and train 100 new female coaches per year through a funded coaching pathway.
100FC is a programme for females (16+) across London, who will be supported with their first steps in coaching including funding for coaching courses and coaching placements across a range of organisations.
The programme aims to address the dearth of female coaches in the capital and to support the rapidly increasing player participation numbers with a ready, willing and able workforce who have been given the opportunity to flourish in a safe and developmental coaching environment.
