The Official King’s College London Women’s Football Club
KCL Women's Football Club is one of the best and most vibrant societies at King’s! If you love football or just looking for a fun, supportive community to join, you’ve come to the right place. Our club is all about football, fun and family, and we’re excited to welcome players of all skill levels and from every course.
Football
1s TEAM: Our most competitive squad brings together players with strong footballing backgrounds, always pushing their limits to succeed on the pitch. Last year, they proudly lifted the Macadam trophy against GKT Women’s Football and reached the final of Les Parisiennes tournament in Paris, an unforgettable team experience. This season, under the leadership of Arielle and Angelina, the team is ready to be unstoppable! But it’s not all about intensity: win or lose on a Wednesday afternoon, you’ll find them celebrating together at our weekly Sports Nights. The first team is made up of semi-professionals, experienced amateurs, and players with natural footballistic talent, all united by their passion for the game.
2s TEAM: The 2s are often described as the best of both worlds: on the pitch, they lock in and compete with the same intensity as the 1s, but off it, they’re the goofiest bunch you’ll ever meet, sometimes you’ll wonder if they even remember they’re here to play football. They put more effort into they pre-match warm-up playlist than in their trainings, have questionable celebrations, but somehow have 100% attendance to both matches and social activities? (It's all a question of balance I guess). This year, under the leadership of Alondra and Emily, the team is set to reach new heights. After finishing an impressive 2nd in both their leagues last season, they’re determined to go one better and claim the top spot. The 2s are the perfect fit for intermediate players: competitive, ambitious, but always up for a laugh.
3rd TEAM: New to football? Haven’t played in years? Or just looking for a sports club that’s all about good vibes? The 3s are the place to be. This team will make you feel right at home from day one. The 3s are mainly for beginners and recreational players, but don’t be fooled, their Sunday League energy is so strong that they’re stepping up into the Wednesday BUCS league this year! With Martha and Leslie leading the way, you can expect a team that brings the party everywhere they go, whether it’s in warm-ups, training, or socials. If you just want to play for fun without heavy commitment, this team is perfect. But be warned… the 3s have a sneaky habit of making people fall in love with football (and with KCLWFC in particular). Before you know it, you’ll be turning up to every match and every social.
Memberships for all teams cost 50£ - this includes: trainings, coaches, sign-ups to competitive leagues, socials
Trainings and Matches
All three of our teams train weekly together (with separate coaches) on Thursdays at King’s Honor Oak Park Sports Ground (SE23 1NW), starting at 7:30PM to fit around your studies.
We also play weekly games on Wednesdays (BUCS) and Sundays (LUSL) in and around London! Our home pitch where we have most of our matches is New Malden (KT3 6JB) aka Berrylands.
Regardless of your football experience, you will certainly find a place here at KCLWFC. Our mission is to involve and encourage as many women as possible at King's to get involved in the sport we are all passionate about!
Socials and events
At KCLWFC, winning off the pitch is just as important. We are not just a team – we are a family and we want everyone to feel right at home to KCLWFC. Our club was named KCLSU Club of the Year 2023 and KCLSU Team of the Year 2022 for our standout performances and community spirit!
KCLWFC’s social events are legendary, with themed Sports Nights every Wednesday and big turnouts at every event. Our end-of-season tour is always a highlight – this year, over 40 of us took over the Albufeira strip! (You may see some interesting costumes on our Instagram) With Amelia, Rachel, and Alvina as our social secs this year, we’re definitely going to continue being one of the most social clubs at KCL. And don’t worry, drinking is never mandatory – we make sure everyone has a great time, on or off the booze.
We were also attended the tournament Les Parisiennes this year, a nice occassion to do a little trip to Paris and make KCLWFC renowned world-wide. We are looking to make a return as well as enter other international tournaments as we know these are great opportunities to make memories outside of playing in the regular leagues.
Expect many club-wide dinners, team bonding nights and plenty of moments to make lifelong friends.
Watching football is also one of our favourite occupations - be ready to take part in outings to Wembley stadium to see the Lionesses play or meeting up at Dover Castle (DC) - our beloved pub we have elected as KCLWFC's home to party and watch matches!
Ava, our fitness sec will be leading many fitness initiatives this year, to encourage practicing sports on a regular basis.
Wellbeing is a priority at KCLWFC. Your mental health matters and the committee will always have your back. Our wellbeing sec, Henna, will also be leading charity initiatives this year. In the past, we have paired up with We Are Donors KCL to help boost numbers in blood donations. Last year we had also organised a charity match in partnership with KCL Men's Football against Queen's Mary to raise money for UNHCR. As it was a success we are looking forward to renewing this collaboration this year!
Of course, we cannot forget our social media secs, Juliet and Liv! Expect some fantastic social media posts as we celebrate our wins, fun Tik Toks to get involved in and your memories captured on our channels.
