This is what women's football looked like in 1972, the same year that the Lionesses played their first-ever official match.
Taken in Croydon, we think these photos are from the inaugural 1972/73 season of the Greater London Women’s Football League.

This year’s theme is #givetogain and in our 54th year we are continuing to search for amazing women to join our league committee and to help us continue to inspire future generations to come. Multiple positions available. Interested? Please DM.

Thank you to all of the women who have played, coached, officiated and volunteered in our league since our first season in 1972.
#IWD26#InternationalWomensDay
Happy International Women’s Day
Today we celebrate the inspirational women who have not only built the very foundation on which our #glwfleague stands but continue to shape it’s direction today.
