Glasgow Girls Football Club is a Scottish women's association football club based in the East End of Glasgow.[3][4][5] They are members of the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL), the highest level women's football league in Scotland, and compete in its second tier, SWPL 2.

History

The club was formed in 2008, following on from an earlier club called Clyde Girls. They initially operated at under-13 level, subsequently adding other age level teams and an adult team. Several of the original group of girls progressed to the senior team. An associated boys' club, Glasgow Boys, was founded in 2013.[6]

The club has been awarded the SFA Legacy Quality Mark, the national body's highest accreditation for organising football to a recognised standard.[7]

Ground

Until 2017 the club played its home games at Budhill Park, in the Springboig area of Glasgow, which was opened in 2013.[8][1] From 2018, the senior team will play some of their home games at Petershill Park in the north of the city (this is also the home ground of multiple Scottish champions Glasgow City)[9] and some at the Greenfield Football Centre near Carntyne.[10]
