Portsmouth FC Ladies, colloquially known as "Pompey Ladies", is a women's football club for the south coast city of Portsmouth in Hampshire, England. The club currently plays in the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division. Its male counterpart is Portsmouth F.C.
The club has programmes allowing girls and women of all ages to participate in football, and in 2005 became only the second women's club in Britain to establish a Football Academy for females.[1]
Its biggest rivalries are with Southampton and Brighton & Hove Albion. Unlike them, however, it has never been in the top flight, the Women's Premiership.
