WOMEN'S FOOTBALL

Roslyn Wakari AFC is committed to providing a welcoming, supportive, and empowering environment for women who want to play football at every stage of their journey.

We are proud of our strong focus on developing female football, creating clear pathways that support girls as they progress into senior women’s football, where the club has a well-established and competitive presence. From youth through to adult grades, we aim to ensure players can continue playing, developing, and enjoying the game within the Roslyn Wakari community.

Our women’s programme is built around inclusion, opportunity, and growth. Whether players are returning to football, transitioning from youth teams, or trying the sport for the first time, we strive to provide an environment where women of all abilities feel confident, valued, and supported.

With dedicated coaches, regular training, and competitive fixtures, our senior women’s teams offer both enjoyment and challenge. We place strong emphasis on teamwork, resilience, and connection, fostering a culture where players can build skills, friendships, and a genuine sense of belonging.

We warmly welcome new and returning players. If you are looking for a club that actively supports women’s football and provides a clear pathway from girls’ football into strong senior women’s teams, Roslyn Wakari AFC would love to welcome you into our football community.
