About our Watford Women news
Latest news on Watford Women, The Golden Girls, covering fixtures, results, and updates from the FA Women's National League South.
Watford FC Women, affectionately known as The Golden Girls, are an English women's football club affiliated to Watford FC. The club currently competes in the FA Women's National League South, the third tier of English women's football, with home matches played at Grosvenor Vale in Wealdstone. The club was renamed from Watford FC Ladies to Watford FC Women in August 2020.
The club has experienced the highs of promotion and the challenges of relegation in recent seasons. After winning the FA Women's National League South title in the 2022-23 season, Watford returned to the Women's Championship for the 2023-24 campaign. However, they faced relegation back to the National League, marking another chapter in their journey through English women's football.
Watford Women boast a rich heritage of talented players who have worn the golden shirt. The squad has featured experienced internationals including Gemma Davison, a former England international who won ten league titles during spells with Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, and Helen Ward, who scored over 40 goals for Wales before her retirement. The club attracts supporters from across Hertfordshire and beyond, with occasional fixtures at Vicarage Road drawing impressive crowds that showcase the growing interest in women's football.
The club's history stretches back decades, with roots in the community dating to the early days of women's football. Watford Ladies FC emerged in 1970 following growing demand at the men's club, and over the years the team climbed through the leagues to establish themselves in the upper tiers of English women's football. The club finished runners-up in the FA Women's Premier League in 2013, earning their place in the newly formed Women's Super League 2, before navigating the restructured pyramid system that has shaped modern women's football.
