Women's program at the university of chester
​Launching in 2025

We are pleased to announce the launch of a women's academy in 2025 at the University of Chester. The program will be modeled after the successful women's academy at the University of Gloucestershire.
​
The women's academy will run alongside the present men’s academy at Chester and in conjunction with the Women's Chester City FC program. Oversight of all training and the program philosophy will match the men's program and be overseen by the UDA coaching staff. 
The program offers women looking for an international, global experience in a professional soccer environment while studying a degree they are passionate about. 

Our women will train and play alongside the Chester City FC women's team in the Division One South of the North West Women's Regional Football League.
