Celebrating International Women’s Day 2025

Rotherham United Community Trust is proud to celebrate International Women’s Day 2025, championing this year’s theme: ‘Accelerate Action’.

We remain committed to driving real change for women and girls in football—both on and off the pitch. Through initiatives like our Girls’ Development Sessions, Premier League Kicks, and Women’s Only Sessions, we are breaking down barriers and creating more opportunities than ever.

But action goes beyond the game. At RUCT, we are working to inspire the next generation, ensuring that women and girls have a voice, a platform, and the confidence to pursue their goals.

RUFC’s Girls Emerging Talent Centre Scottish Football Tour!

Rotherham United’s Girls Emerging Talent Centre (ETC) recently embarked on an unforgettable football tour to Scotland earlier in the month, gaining valuable experience both on and off the pitch.

Day 1 saw the U12, U14, and U16 squads set off from the New York Stadium, full of excitement as they headed north to Glasgow. Upon arrival, the teams faced off against Hamilton Academical Women and Girls Football Club, putting their skills to the test in their first matches of the trip.

On Day 2, the players enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of Rangers F.C.’s iconic stadium, offering an inspiring glimpse into life at a top-level club. In the afternoon, they took a break from football with a team-bonding bowling session before returning to action in the evening against Kilmarnock F.C. Girls.

The final day of the tour, Day 3, saw the teams pack up for their journey home, but not before one last challenge—a stop at AFC Workington for another round of fixtures. The matches capped off a fantastic trip, filled with competitive football, learning experiences, and unforgettable memories.

The tour was a huge success, providing players with the chance to develop both individually and as a team while representing Rotherham United with pride. A big thank you to everyone involved in making the trip possible!
