Bath Spa University sponsors Bath City FC Women’s team

The latest community partnership from Bath Spa University, for the 2023/24 season, comes after the football club secured backing from founding partner Novia for a further two years.

It’s not the first time that Bath City FC has had a women’s team. In 1921 Bath Ladies FC played in front of a crowd of 31,000 spectators at Old Trafford when women’s football gained a peak in popularity, while men were serving in the First World War.

Fast forward a century, and the Bath Spa University logo will be proudly positioned on the back of the new women's team shirts in recognition of the university unwavering support for the players, with the first team competing in the South West Regional Women’s Football League.

The women’s First Team kicked off their season with a 3-3 draw at home at Twerton Park on Sunday 3rd September against Weymouth Women.
