Six enthusiastic secondary school teams came together this week for an action-packed edition of the Foundation 92 Local EFL Utilita Girls Cup, showcasing fantastic teamwork, sportsmanship, and talent across every match.
Hosted at Salford Sports Village the tournament brought excitement from the very first kick. With a place in the regional stage of the national competition up for grabs, every team gave their all in pursuit of the chance to represent Salford City FC at Wembley Stadium next summer.
In addition to the on-pitch action, all young participants were delighted to receive free tickets to the Lioness’ game this coming weekend, adding an extra buzz to an already memorable day. We look forward to welcoming them at the Peninsula Stadium this Sunday.
