The Chester FC Girls’ Emerging Talent Centre (ETC) has been in action in the first quarter of 2026, playing in a series of fixtures, festivals and round-robins.

Opponents have included Everton, Crewe Alexandra, Kidderminster Harriers, Westmorland ETC, West Riding Girls, St Helens Schools, Sefton Schools, and a touring USA side from South Texas, with all age groups producing impressive performances.

Part of a national FA network designed to identify and develop future potential players, the Chester FC Girls ETC currently features 60 talented players across four age groups: U10s, U12s, U14s, and U16s.

The training and games programme is designed to complement players’ existing grassroots football commitments, giving them the opportunity to learn, develop, and enjoy the game through a range of formats.

The ETC runs over 30 weeks and Talent ID events and trials for the 2026/27 season will take place this summer. If you would like to register your interest, email community@chesterfc.com.
