Our History
Founded in 2008 following the legacy of Clyde Girls FC, Glasgow Girls FC began with an under-13 team and quickly expanded to include multiple youth squads and a senior women’s team.
A number of players from the founding group progressed to the senior side, exemplifying the club’s long-standing focus on development and retention.
In 2013, the organisation extended its reach with the creation of Glasgow Boys FC, fostering deeper community involvement across genders and age groups.
Glasgow Girls FC has earned recognition for its professionalism and impact in the women’s game, including the SFA Legacy Quality Mark — the Scottish FA’s highest accreditation for grassroots football.
After promotion to the top tier in the 2021–22 season, the club faced competitive challenges in subsequent campaigns but remained resilient. Each season brought reflection and renewal as the club continued refining its structure, player pathways, and cultural foundations.
Home matches are played at Budhill Park, a modern football facility in Springboig, Glasgow. This development was made possible through the committed work of our Trustees, alongside support from the Scottish FA Grassroots Fund and Sport Scotland, who contributed to the creation of this state-of-the-art football environment.
