What are the games like?

These are casual, pay-as-you-play sessions with mixed standard, designed to be fun, welcoming, and commitment-free.

When and where are these games?

We currently organise women-only games across London at the football venues listed below and you can find a full schedule here.

Do I have to be good at football to join in?

All abilities are welcome and we try to split the teams evenly to have a good kick-about. The reality is that the more you play, the better you’ll become, so it’s beneficial to make playing football a weekly habit.

What's the game format?

It’s small-sided football, so depending on the venue, it could be 5-a-side to 8-a-side and everything in between.

What's the age requirement for joining?

Just need to be over 18. No upper limit, just bring your game!

Which boots should I wear?

Trainers can work but Astro boots are ideal for these 3G/4G pitches. They provide the right grip and support.

I play football because I love playing football and I want to play football. If we can help and support and be there and be an inspiration to people as part of the journey then that’s incredible.

You’ve got to believe in yourself! If you enjoy it, don’t let anyone take it away from you.

How Footy Addicts Women's Football Programme Started

Footy Addicts noticed a growing demand for women’s football in London. Despite the city’s rich football culture, there were limited opportunities for women to play. In 2017, they partnered with the London FA to launch a dedicated women’s football programme, aiming to create more accessible and inclusive spaces for women to play football.

The Partnership with London FA

The collaboration with London FA was crucial. Both organisations wanted to increase female participation in football. The London FA aimed to double the number of female players by 2025, aligning perfectly with Footy Addicts’ mission. Together, they focused on grassroots development, providing quality pitches and organising women-only games across London.

Growth and Impact

The programme started with small weekly games in areas like Shepherd’s Bush and Whitechapel. By 2023, it had grown significantly, hosting over 330 women-only games and creating 4,000 opportunities for women to play football in London. This growth showed the strong demand and enthusiasm for women’s football in the city.

The Girls United Partnership

In 2023, Footy Addicts partnered with Girls United, an organisation founded in 2017 that focuses on promoting gender equality in football. Girls United operates in South London and provides football training and leadership skills for girls and young women. This partnership allowed Footy Addicts to offer more football sessions specifically for women and non-binary players. They started weekly games at JAGS Sports Club in Dulwich and Barnard Park, open to all skill levels, especially beginners.

Building an Inclusive Football Community

Footy Addicts are committed to making football accessible for everyone. They focus on creating a football community where all groups feel welcome and included. Their plans include adding more games and supporting the development of women’s football, aiming to develop the passion for the game in adults and the next generation of players.
