Started in London by best friends and two ex-employees of City Pantry, Gals FC is redefining what football can be - welcoming, inclusive, and, most importantly, fun. With sport offering powerful benefits across all generations, this stands out as a bold and visionary concept - undeniably deserving its spot on the Entrepreneur UK London100 list.
Unlike traditional football clubs, Gals FC is proudly non-competitive, designed for women who may have never played before or have felt excluded from the sport. There are no trials, no leagues, and no pressure - just a game where everyone belongs. With 13 thriving communities across the UK and plans to reach 50 this year, Gals FC is on a mission to get 150,000 women playing football every week.

"Innovation isn't just about technology - it's about rethinking who gets to belong. At Gals FC, we've built a football experience where competition takes a backseat to community, proving that sport can be social, inclusive, and empowering for everyone." — Lorne, co-founder of Gals FC
With £150k in seed funding and an ambitious national expansion plan, Gals FC is not just a football club - it's a movement that's changing the game for women in the UK.
