How the journey began

As a little girl, I learned about football from my mom. It became something I was completely enthralled with from a very early age. I enjoyed the excitement, the athleticism, the mental strategies and, if I’m being honest, a bit of the trash talk. The people that I gravitated towards were usually guys as they were the ones most open to talking about football. As I got older and my circle got wider, I started meeting other ladies who had a great passion for the game as well. It was like meeting a long lost relative. I loved it and they often quickly became my dear friends.

It seems that I was not alone. It’s not a small minority of women who love football. As a matter of fact, nearly 50% of football fans are ladies! So, I’ve decided to get some of my amazing friends together and start talking football and connecting with other ladies who have a passion for the gridiron. Here I’ve created a community where we can share our own thoughts and ideas and have our own space to debate games.
