MATCH ARRANGEMENTS: Halifax F.C. Women

On Sunday 27^th August FC United Women take on Halifax F.C. Women in our first tie of the 2023-24 National League Cup.

Kick-off: 2:00pm

The two teams

Halifax F.C. Women began life in 2013 as Brighouse Town Women and would go on to play for a decade under that name, before changing to their current format in May of this year. A level above FC, Halifax will prove a stiff challenge and the Reds will have to be at their best if they are to advance into the next round.

A first league game last Sunday saw a spirited FCUM team go down 1-7 to Doncaster Belles and the past week has seen a number of new additions made to add strength to the squad. Despite the opening game loss, there is a great atmosphere around the women’s team currently and if you haven’t had chance to get down to a Sunday game, why not make the most of the Bank Holiday Weekend and cheer on the team.

Halifax is famous for having the largest what in the world? Read till the end to find out.
