Blackpool FC Girls and Ladies are a leading provider of female football on the Fylde Coast and the North West. Our Ladies First Team currently play in the North West Women’s Regional Football League, in the 6th tier of women’s football, with the Reserves playing just one league below in Tier 7. In addition to this we have u9-18s teams, including teams that play in the North West Super League.
We pride ourselves on developing young players to play at all levels in women and girls’ football, and have an excellent track record in providing pathways within our own Club from junior teams all the way through to our prestigious ladies teams. Our professional approach to training, games, coaching standards and welfare enables us to provide a platform for high achievers to transition on to the Blackpool FC girls Emerging Talent Centre, and other academies throughout the North West.
In 2024 we voted in a brand-new committee in order to bring in a new era at the club, in a 3-way partnership with Blackpool FC and Blackpool FC Community Trust to bring our Girls and Ladies set up in line with the aspirations of the Football Club. This collaboration will help develop opportunities in girls’ football not just for the members of our Club but also to increase the opportunities available to girls across Blackpool and the Fylde coast.
