Southampton Women's FC is one of the oldest women's teams in the country now they are going to play their home games at Testwood Stadium
Southampton Women's Football Club were one of the top women's sides in the Country in the 1970's winning the Women's FA Cup 8 times between 1971 & 1983 and providing players for the fledgling England Woman's side with one of those games being played at the Dell.
In the 1980's the initial charge of the Woman's game subsided and SWFC's dominance diminished with the club being diluted by the formation of Red Star Southampton who later became Southampton Saints and were subsidised by Saints themselves for a decade until relegation in 2005 meant that they ceased this sponsorship in a cost cutting measure.
But Southampton WFC have always continued on, despite being overshadowed by the newer club in the City and now they have linked up with AFC Totton to play their home games at the Testwood Stadium on Salisbury Road.
Next Sunday (11 October 2015) at 2pm, Southampton Women’s FC take on London Corinthians Ladies FC in the third qualify round of the FA Women’s Cup.
Home games follow for the next two weeks as well as they play New Forest Ladies FC in the League on 18th October and then again the following Sunday (25th October) in the League Cup. All games kick off at 2pm.
Bar is open for games and teas and coffees are available.
