Southland Football are very excited to launch Girls Football Leagues for 2023 and beyond. With the FIFA Women's World Cup being co-hosted by New Zealand, there is no better time to join in the hype! These Girls Football Leagues will give new an existing players an opportunity to play in a girls environment, with smaller game formats to give them more time and touches on the ball.
Our aim is to get more girls playing and loving football, and we are hopeful these new leagues will give girls the space to thrive!
