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. As one of Kings' biggest societies, 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, including semi-professionals and experienced amateurs, always pushing their limits to succeed on the pitch. Last year, in our annual Macadam Cup, they proudly lifted the trophy against GKT and reached the final of Les Parisiennes tournament in Paris, an unforgettable team experience. This season, under the leadership of Avaa and Marina, 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. To round off the year, the 1s play in the annual Varsity fixture against UCL, a great opportunity for the team to play in front of thousands of people and for the rest of the club to show their support.
2s TEAM: The 2s are often described as the best of both worlds: on the pitch, they always give 100%, and off it, they're always up for a good time. They put as much effort into their pre-match warm-up playlist than their trainings, 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 Maya and Sofia, the team is set to reach new heights. After finishing an impressive 2nd in both 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 and ambitious, but always up for a laugh.
3rd TEAM: New to football? Haven’t played in years? Or just looking for a competitive sports team 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 people looking to play competitive football regularly and improve their skills, but don’t be fooled, their Sunday League energy is so strong that they’re stepping up into the Wednesday BUCS league this year once again! With Ana and Isa 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 want to play matches, attend fun trainings and improve your football ability 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.
Recs: A new opportunity!! This year we are delighted to offer recreational football for the first time and if you're looking to play casually in a welcoming and friendly environment, the recs will be perfect for you. Regardless of ability, recs offers the chance to play low commitment, non-competitive football and meet new people. Under our recs leads Zaynab and Lena, players of all abilities and experience levels will have the chance to play together once a week. And if you fall in love with it and decide to take your football career to the next level? We're offering the chance to upgrade your membership and play competitively for one of our three teams as a one off or regularly. Recs is perfect for those with other commitments or if you're just looking to play some sport and meet new people every so often! And of course- we hope to see you all at club socials and events.
Memberships for all competitive teams cost 50£ - this includes: trainings, coaches, sign-ups to competitive leagues, socials
Memberships for recs cost 30£- this includes: pitch hire, equipment, socials
Upgrade from recs to competitive at any point throughout the year to play matches!
Trainings and Matches
All three of our teams train weekly (with separate coaches) on Thursdays at King’s Honor Oak Park Sports Ground (SE23 1NW), 7:30-9:00PM 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 Sports Ground (KT3 6JB).
Recs will play once a week at Tabard Street Pitches (SE1 4LP) on Tuesdays from 8-9PM.
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, time 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, as well as winning KCLSU Event of the Year 2026 for our Charity Match with Queen Mary's in support of UNHCR!
KCLWFC’s social events are legendary, with themed Sports Night every Wednesday. Our end-of-season tour is always a highlight – this year, over 30 of us took over Malaga! With Satine, Lexie and Harriet as our Social Secs this year, we’re definitely going to continue our reputation as one of the most social clubs at KCL. You can also expect club-wide dinners, team bonding nights and plenty of opportunities to make lifelong friends. And don’t worry, drinking is never mandatory – we make sure everyone has a great time, on or off the booze.
We also attended Les Parisiennes and Le WEFT tournaments this year, a chance to play in Paris against teams from across Europe. We are looking to return as well as enter other international tournaments as these are great opportunities to make memories outside of playing in our regular leagues.
Varsity and Macadam are standout events in the KCLWFC calendar. All 3 teams play the corresponding sides from our biggest rivals UCL and GKT, with 1's varsity being our biggest and most anticipated event of the year! These are great occasions to rep the club with merch - scarves, jumpers, jackets - you name it! Our Vice-President Rachel is already busy designing new pieces so keep an eye out...
Wellbeing is a priority at KCLWFC. Your mental health matters and the committee will always have your back. Our Wellbeing Sec, Jess, will also be leading many charity initiatives throughout the year. In the past, we have paired up with We Are Donors KCL to help boost numbers in blood donations and CoppaFeel to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. Our biggest partnership is with UNHCR for our annual charity match with Queen Mary's, where we raised over £8700 last year. We're already planning this year's fixture and would love to have you there!
