SAFC Ladies

The Branch has a proud sponsor of SAFC Ladies since 2014. This coincided with the team’s acceptance into the newly expanded FA Women’s Super League (WSL) second division, which the team went on to win on the final day of the season, gaining promotion to the FA WSL1 for the 2015 season. Since then the team has experienced mixed fortunes, including relegation to the FA Women’s National League in 2018. A particular highlight from recent years has been the City’s pride in following successes of former players who have gone on to become England internationals including Lucy Bronze, Steph Houghton, Beth Mead, Jill Scott and Demi Stokes.

We are pleased to have an ongoing relationship with the team and wish the lasses success for the 2022/23 season. You can find out more about the current team on the SAFC website and more on the history of the team in Ian’s blog post.
