WHAT IS THE MANCHESTER CITY Women fc ACADEMY?
Manchester City Women FC Academy hosts a U12 and U14 team plus a Pro Game Academy U19 training group of players.
Based at the Club’s CFA training complex in Manchester and working alongside the boys’ Academy programme, it is headed up by former professional player and ex-Wales women’s national team Head Coach, Jayne Ludlow, who was appointed MCWFC Academy Technical Director in May 2021.
