AFC Leyton was created in 2015 and grew into one of the biggest and best grassroots women and girls football clubs in London. Whilst we are not a “win at all costs” club, winning is a by-product of how we coach and develop our players.
Many players that we have been fortunate to work have developed into professional football. Many ex-players have progressed into professional game academies at clubs such as West Ham, Charlton Atheltic, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspurs. In 2024 an ex-AFC Leyton player made her debut on the London City Lionesses First Team in the Womens Championship (and scored!). Many ex-players are also currenly signed to teams in the FA Womens National League.
