The club is affiliated to the Somerset FA and currently competes in the Somerset Women's County League Division One, the seventh tier of Women's English football. Though multiple Bath City women's teams have existed in the past, the current team was founded in 2022. History Previous Teams The club has had a history of women's teams over the years stretching back more than 100 years. In 1921, Bath City Ladies played at Old Trafford in front of 31,000 to raise money for unemployed ex-servicemen in Manchester. The fixture raised £2,000 for the fund to help returning soldiers from war. However, in the same year,The Football Association banned women's football because the Association felt the physicality of the game was unsuitable for women. Women's football suffered for decades but it was reintroduced around the mid-century and has since progressed significantly. Current Team The current club were founded in June 2022. Chairman, Nick Blofeld said, “As a community owned club with a commitment to inclusion, we’ve wanted to get a women’s side up and running for a number of seasons. Thanks to Novia, we now have the resources in place to launch our women’s team in a sustainable and hopefully successful way. We are ambitious for our women’s team and want to provide the best support for them both on and off the pitch. Playing home games at Twerton Park is a clear demonstration of our one club, two teams approach whereby our women’s team is treated equally with our men’s.” Jane Jones, who is the Women's Team Lead said, “Bath City have a long and proud history of women’s football and now with it on the rise, including the women’s Euros in England this summer, it’s a perfect time to revive that tradition and launch our new women’s team. The club is fully behind us and, in addition to all the performance support the team will get, we will make sure that they are fully promoted too, with dedicated social media channels and on our website. We hope that playing for Bath City Women will be appealing to local players and we hope that our club can help grow the women’s game in our local area.” Stadium Twerton Park is a football stadium in the Twerton suburb of Bath, England.
