New Chairman Abdullah Ashraf pledges Tamworth FC Women will always be at the forefront of the new ownerships plans at the club. Everyone at the club is delighted at the continuing growth of women and girls football in the community which has lead to success. Our women’s first team has just won promotion to the Birmingham County Women’s Premier League for the upcoming 2026/27 season.

Women's football at The Lamb has grown ever since it was introduced and with more academy girls teams than ever before that trend looks set to continue. Along with that there has been an increase in u19 scholarship recruitment for a second year as well as the introduction of a new u21’s team.

New owner and Chairman, Abdullah Ashraf is committed to leading the growth of the women’s game, he said: “I sincerely want the women’s game to continue to grow and flourish! Tamworth FC Women will not be an afterthought for the club and we will continue to seek out consistent, sustainable growth, where possible.

“The recent promotion to the Birmingham County Women’s Premier League is incredibly exciting for the players, coaches and club as a whole. As the team begin that journey, I want to be right there alongside them!

“At DGI, we believe football and the community go hand in hand, and women’s football plays a huge part in that. We’re in the process of actively weighing our options and considering how we can best support the team. I look forward to providing further updates on this in the future and seeing the Women in action!

A New Dawn Is Coming - Come On You Lambs!”

Many steps have already been taken to proceed with the already thriving women’s academy such as the reintroduction of the wildcats programme, partnering with local providers to increase girls teams between ages 7-10 and meetings with key stakeholders to continue this growth.

Tamworth Women’s first team manager, Gareth Hathaway says: “Seeing the sheer number of women and girls joining our academy right now is incredibly rewarding.It’s a testament to the hard work happening behind the scenes and the environment we’ve built here.

“We take immense pride in providing a clear, supportive pathway where a young girl can walk into our academy and see a direct, achievable route all the way through to wearing the first-team shirt.

“There is enormous momentum behind Tamworth FC Women as we prepare for the 2026/27 season. By securing Premier League football alongside achieving record enrollment within our academy, the club has established a truly robust foundation for the future.

“We are fully committed to building a sustainable, elite pathway for women’s football in the region, and we look forward to carrying this professional standard into the upcoming campaign.”

Academy Director, Tim Dudding added: “The growth of our women's and girls' programme is something we're incredibly proud of, and it's a key part of the long-term vision for Tamworth FC.

“We're committed to creating an environment where talented female players can develop, receive a high-quality education alongside their football. Our scholarship programme is about giving players the opportunity to fulfil their potential both on and off the pitch, while ensuring they have the support, coaching and experiences needed to progress.

“As we continue to invest in the programme, we're excited to see more players coming through the pathway and representing Tamworth FC at senior level in the years ahead.”
