Greater Manchester Women's Football League

The Greater Manchester women’s Football league (GMWFL) provides a pathway from U18s to adult football and comprises the entry level step within the Women’s football pyramid, providing a promotion pool to supply the North west Women’s Regional Football League. They also support junior to adult transition, with a U18s division playing on a saturday and adult divisions playing on a sunday allowing players to experience under 18 football and gradually step up to Women’s football.

OUR HISTORY

The League was previously combined with the Cheshire League, and split in order to create more localised football in 2011. The league has now grown 2023 to a position where they have 60 plus teams across the 2 age groups and are keen to reach 80 plus teams by 2025. During the 2018/19 season the U18s division was re-established, following the junior leagues offering U17 provision for the past 4 seasons. The U18 provision re-started with 10 teams which was an exceptional success, and the leagues flexibility in enabling Saturday football for this age group has ensured their growth. The league run an annual information evening in April each year for new clubs, and this offers a great opportunity to provide a summary of the leagues offer.
