Colchester United Womens Football Club, commonly referred to as Colchester unless distinguishing themselves from the men's team, is an English women's football club based in Colchester, Essex, England formed in July 2023. The club is due to play in Division Two of the Essex County Women’s Football League for the 2023/24 season.
The team play in the same kit as worn by the men's team to represent equality and value across both disciplines. As with the men's team, the home and away kits are sponsored by Workhorse Group for the 2023/24 season.
History
May 2023:
After a ten-year absence of a women's football team at Colchester following the folding of Colchester United L.F.C., Colchester United Football in the Community unveiled plans to reform a women's team in time for the 2023/24 season.
June-July 2023:
Trials were held at Shrub End Sports Ground over three consecutive weeks, with successful players being informed of their position on July 6th. The founding of Colchester United W.F.C was confirmed at CUFC's Annual Open Day held at the Colchester Community Stadium on Sunday 16th July along with the appointment of a head coach, the name of whom was due to be released by the end of the month.
Colours and Crest
The team play in the same kit as worn by the men's team to represent equality and value across both disciplines. For the 2023/24 Season, the home shirt consists of a modern take on the Club's traditional blue and white striped design, while the away shirt is yellow with narrow blue stripes around the collar, sleeves and underarms.
Stadium
The team's home ground is a 3G surface at Shrub End Community & Sports Centre, home of the Club's Football In The Community (FITC) program.
