Nottingham Forest Ladies Football Club is an English women's football club affiliated with Nottingham Forest F.C.. They were promoted to the Women's Premier League in 2008 after winning the Northern Division and currently play their home matches at Basford United FC, Greenwich Avenue.
The first known existence of a female Forest team was that which competed in the Notts and Derby League in the early 1970s but the club in its current form was officially founded in 1990 by the NFFC Community arm and then developed by the players going forward. The small group of young women advertised in the men's official programme against Everton for players to join them.
The current kit is sponsored by No More Page Three,[1] unlike their male counterparts who are Sponsored by Fawaz Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Co, but the Ladies club is an amateur organisation and not funded by the men's club, so independent sponsors have to be acquired. The team reached the FA Women's Premier League Cup final in March 2011, but were defeated by Barnet on penalties.
They currently play in the FA Premier League Northern Division.
Forest Ladies applied to join the FA WSL in 2014,[2] however were unsuccessful.[3]
