Newcastle United's women's team has been relaunched as part of Newcastle United Foundation, the club’s official registered charity.

 

The relaunch of Newcastle United Women (NUW) is part of the Foundation’s exciting plans for women and girls' football locally.

 

With continued support from Newcastle United, Newcastle United Women has a bright future as an integral part of a newly-developed talent pathway for girls in the region. 

The number of girls participating in football with Newcastle United Foundation is growing year on year.

 

"THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL STRENGTHEN THE PATHWAY FOR OUR TALENTED PLAYERS SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE TO THE FIELD IN FUTURE TO REPRESENT OUR CLUB AND EVEN THEIR COUNTRY."

KATE BRADLEY, HEAD OF NEWCASTLE UNITED FOUNDATION

 

This season, almost 700 girls will play football with the Foundation as part of Premier League Girls, with 170 enrolled on an Advanced Coaching Programme led by former Newcastle United Women’s captain, Lisa Bell.

 

The newly-created Newcastle United Women, initially formed in 1989 as Newcastle United Women’s FC, will act as a direct route for girls playing in the Foundation’s grassroots programmes to playing in the famous black and white kit.

This is good news as previously the Foundation would spend years training girls only for them to signposted else where, simply because they didn't have anything 'worthwhile' for the good players to progress in to. That's why a lot of the good players went to Sunderland as it was the only decent women's set up in the North-East.
