Football (BL Women)

Sports Club

About

BL Women’s Football is one of the fastest-growing sports clubs at Barts and The London — and we’re all about passion, community, and the beautiful game! Whether you're a seasoned striker or have never kicked a ball in your life, our club is the perfect place to get stuck in, make friends, and create unforgettable memories during your time at Barts.

We’re proud of our vibrant, supportive community of women who come together not only to play football but to build each other up, on and off the pitch. From competitive university leagues and weekly coached training sessions to show off your skills (or learn them from scratch), we’ve got you covered.

Our past seasons have been packed with highlights — strong showings in the LUSL league, fierce competition at Merger Cup, and a buzzing social scene with events for everyone, drinkers and non-drinkers alike.

So, whether you dream of becoming our Chloe Kelly at Merger or just want to try something new, join BL Women’s Football and be part of something special. Let’s play, grow, and have the time of our lives — together.

Trainings

Get ready to hit the pitch every Monday from 6–8pm for our weekly training sessions! Whether you're a complete beginner or a football fanatic, your first session is free!

We’ll provide all the gear you need, from balls to cones — just bring your energy and get ready to have fun.

Inclusivity is at the heart of BLWFC, and our socials reflect that. Come for the football, stay for the family.

Competitions

We participate in the London Universities Sport Leagues (LUSL) where matches take place on Sundays about twice a month. Alongside LUSL, we hope to arrange friendlies in the second and third terms, and of course, we can't forget about Merger! For games, you will need football boots, shin pads, long black socks, and comfortable black shorts/joggers.
