They founded Glasgow City FC in 1998 with aspirations to become a dominant force in Scottish football and a strong contender in Europe. They delivered, creating Scotland’s most successful women’s football team, winning 13 League titles in succession and reaching Uefa's Women’s Champions League quarter-finals twice. Sustaining their legacy is the club’s thriving academy, enabling girls to follow their footballing dreams.
