The victory of professional women’s team owes its success to the support, passion and strength of the 

 with groups like Baller Friends Collective organising inclusive and welcoming watch parties and events dedicated to women sports.

“Women’s football in London is booming – from grassroots 5 a-side, to lower league football, fan watch parties and WSL,” says Rachel, who founded Baller FC in 2022.

Clubs United is an inclusive league. They run regular 10-12 week long seasons and it’s a friendly, welcoming community who make football really accessible whether you’re new to the game or a more experienced player.

The Volley is a great spot to watch any football and is the home of Baller FC’s Champions League watch parties. With big screens and booths that seat 6 – 8 fans, the team at The Volley are open to showing any game you want to watch. 

This East London club is 100% fan owned and fan run. It has a hugely passionate supporters club who turn out in droves to cheer on the women’s and the men’s team. We love a Sunday at The Old Spotted Dog, £5 in, a pint, street food, great football and quite often DJs in the clubhouse after. 

The pride of South London who play in the infamous pink and blue. Another lower league club with a fervent supporter’s group – iconically named ‘The Pepper Army’. Sunday’s spent watching the women’s team are a staple fixture in our calendar.
