Newcastle United WFC
Let’s Hear It For the Girls
By NUWFC
Many Newcastle United fans are oblivious to the
fact that the club has a Women’s team, let alone
a Women’s team which also competes in the FA
Women’s Premier League. The club currently
sits in the Northern division of the Premier
League and is looking to consolidate its position
and build for the future, with the long term aim
to compete in the FA Women’s Super League.
NUWFC gives an opportunity for girls and
women living in Newcastle upon Tyne and its
surrounding areas, to train and play football at
one of the highest levels possible in English
football. The club runs a first team and a
reserve team and is looking to develop a youth
programme in the coming years.
The club was established in 1989 and is formerly
known as Newcastle Women’s Football Club. It
is a not for profit registered UK charity no
1111188. The club currently plays under the
name of Newcastle United Women’s Football
Club via an agreement with the Men’s club.

The club has to raise their own funds to
enable the players to train and play at the
very top of their chosen sport. Each player
has to combine working in their normal
day to day jobs or studies at University /
College / Sixth Form, with the considerable
demands of training twice a week &
playing on a Sunday for Newcastle United
WFC all over the country.
Led by Chairman Lee Devlin and Vicechairman Ed Hindle, the club is developing
both on and off the field, with the media coverage of
the club increasing year on year. In 2013 the club
launched its own TV channel, and has a regular
column in the Evening Chronicle Black and White
extra on Wednesday’s.
NUWFC First Team plays on the grass pitch at the
University of Northumbria’s Coach Lane Campus,
Benton.
Our NUWFC Reserves play at the
University of Northumbria’s Bullocksteads sports
complex at Kenton Bank Foot.
