Bridon Ropes FC to Launch New Senior Women’s Team for 2026/27
Expressions of interest now invited from teams, players and coaches
Bridon Ropes FC is pleased to confirm plans to launch a new Senior Women’s First Team ahead of the 2026/27 season, competing in the Greater London Women’s Football League.
This initiative represents an exciting opportunity to help shape a new women’s side from the ground up at a long established, community focused club with clear ambitions for the future.
A genuine home for women’s football in SE London
The new women’s team will form a central part of Bridon Ropes FC’s one club structure. It will not be treated as an add on or secondary programme. Players and staff will be supported with facilities and standards that reflect the club’s commitment to equality and long term development.
Key features include competitive matches played on the club’s senior stadium pitch and training on a floodlit 3G Astro pitch in Charlton, South East London. The club prides itself on being deeply rooted in the local community and committed to creating an environment where women’s football is properly valued, visible and supported.
Invitation to existing women’s teams
Bridon Ropes FC is particularly keen to speak with existing women’s teams who may feel constrained at their current clubs. This may include teams experiencing limited access to quality facilities, feeling under supported, or lacking a clear long term pathway.
For ambitious squads seeking a club that will invest in them, provide a strong identity and offer a genuine sense of belonging, Bridon Ropes FC presents an attractive option for the 2026/27 season.
This opportunity is about providing a stronger platform, not starting again.
Opportunities for coaches and management teams
The club also welcomes expressions of interest from coaches and management teams who are motivated by the opportunity to build something new.
This role offers the chance to shape the culture, playing philosophy and standards of a senior women’s side from its inception, while working within a supportive club structure that values development, collaboration and long term planning.
Be part of the next chapter
With over 90 years of history in Charlton and South East London, the launch of a Senior Women’s Team represents a natural and important step in Bridon Ropes FC’s evolution.
If you are part of a women’s team exploring options for 2026/27, a coach interested in leading a new project, or a player seeking a club that values ambition and community, the club would be delighted to hear from you.
