Glasgow City Football Club is a women's football team based in Glasgow that plays in SWPL 1, the top division of women's football in Scotland and also the higher of two levels of the Scottish Women's Premier League. The club has competed in the UEFA Women's Cup and UEFA Women's Champions League. They also have a reserve team and youth teams.
Glasgow City has won the most Premier League titles in Scotland and the most Scottish Cups since 2000.
In 2016, Glasgow City won their tenth Scottish Women's Premier League title in a row, a Scottish record surpassing the previous record of 9, done by Rangers and Celtic men's teams. However they lost their monopoly on the domestic trophies with Hibernian L.F.C. winning the SWPL Cup and Scottish Cup.
Glasgow City Football Club was formed in 1998 by Laura Montgomery and Carol Anne Stewart and are based at Excelsior Stadium, Craigneuk Avenue, Airdrie, Ml6 8QZ. They play in orange and black.
City completed a domestic clean sweep in 2012, winning every domestic game that season on the way to claiming the treble. They completed a second consecutive domestic treble in 2013, stretching their undefeated league record to 111 matches. It was reported Glasgow City had held talks with the FA WSL in February 2013 about a possible move to an extended top flight in England. City cited football was not moving forward quickly enough in Scotland for women to match their ambition. The FA shut the door on any potential move. City general manager Laura Montgomery later reiterated the club's desire to play in the FA WSL.
