UOBWFC is an amazing club to be a part of. You can get involved in training sessions, BUCs matches, awesome socials including meals, escape rooms and nights out, whilst meeting a great bunch of people along the way. We welcome all abilities - from seasoned players to those who have never kicked a ball. We provide both a competitive and social environment, allowing members to choose how much they would like to be involved. There are also opportunities to improve skills to help boost CVs including the opportunity to develop coaching and officiating.
Emma Hunter- had never played football before and ended up playing 90 minutes every game as the team goalkeeper. “When I came to university I didn’t think I would be able to join a team as there wasn’t a rugby team but the girls took me under their wing and encouraged me so even though I’ve never played football before I was able to join a team and feel completely accepted and I know I could go to them whether it be for advice on uni work or just general life help, I know I could always go to them. Without my team, my time at Bedford would look so different.”
