History

Early history

An early Stoke Ladies team was formed in 1921 by Len Bridgett, a director at Stoke. [3] His side were generally referred as "Stoke United" and their games were mostly for charitable causes. They played against Dick, Kerr's Ladies from Preston twice in April 1921 in aid of the Royal Staffordshire Infirmary. [3] However, in December 1921 the FA banned woman's football claiming it to be "unsuitable for females". [3] Undeterred Bridgett arranged for his side to play in Barcelona against French side Les Sportives de Paris. They played two matches against Paris and won both. Their final match was against Dick Kerr's in Colne, on 22 September 1923. [3]

Modern history

Stoke City Ladies were formed in 2001 and began playing in the West Midlands League Division One, the sixth tier of Woman's football in England. They finished in third position gaining promotion to the West Midlands League Premier Division. They spent the next seven season's in the fifth tier before winning the league title in 2008–09 after amassing 81 points scoring 95 goals and conceding only 14 in just 22 matches. They also won the Staffordshire County Cup four time in a row from 2009 to 2012. In March 2013 with the side well on top of the Midland Combination League the club decided to apply to join the expanding FA Woman's Super League, however their attempt was unsuccessful. [4] They won their sixth County Cup by beating their reserve team 5–1 on 19 March 2013. [5] They won the Midland Combination League title on 26 March 2013 beating Leafield Athletic 1–0. [6]

The club re-branded in July 2019 dropping the "Ladies" sub-title becoming Stoke City F.C. Women. [7] In March 2023 it was announced that the team are to turn semi-professional for the 2023–24 season. [8] In July 2023, the team appointed Marie Hourihan as their first full-time head coach. [9] In 2024–25 the team reached the final of the FA Women's National League Cup for the first time, losing 3–1 to Nottingham Forest at the Bescot Stadium. [10] [11]
