Gwalia United Football Club (Template:Langx) is a Welsh women's football club playing in the FAWNL Southern Premier Division. The club was renamed Gwalia United prior to the start of the 2024–25 season.[1] Prior to this, the club was most recently called Cardiff City Ladies F.C. but has also played as Llanedeyrn L.F.C., Inter Cardiff F.C. and Cardiff County L.F.C.[2]

History

The club was founded in 1975 as Llanedeyrn L.F.C. after a local charity match.[3] In 1981 the name was changed to Cardiff L.F.C., and in 1993 the club linked up with Inter Cardiff F.C. and started playing at the Cardiff Athletic Stadium.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In 1997, the connection with Inter Cardiff was terminated and the club changed its name to Cardiff County L.F.C while affiliating with the Cardiff County Council.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In 2001 the club began affiliating with Cardiff City, the professional men’s club from the same city.[4]

At the beginning of the 2003 season, however, the club severed its connection with its male counterpart when its members voted against the men’s club's proposals and its operations became an independent outfit again.[5] Although they were allowed to keep use of the Cardiff City name and kit colours, their crest is very different, and no longer uses the famous moniker 'Bluebirds', incorporating the Welsh red dragon instead.

In 2006 Cardiff City Ladies won the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division and were promoted to the National Division for the first time.[6] Relegated in the 2007–08 season, the club again were promoted to the National Division in 2010–11.[7]

In the 2021/2022 season, Cardiff City Ladies were relegated from the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division and were demoted to the National Division. Club Chair Michele Adams said "We'll be back!" and in the following season; 2022/2023, the Dragons returned to the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division at the first time of asking.

Dragons Training Centre

In 2022 the club opened their youth training centre for girls aged 6–16.[8]

The Dragons Training Centre uses the Soccer Profile to measure and track players' progress, enabling them to develop their technical skills. The sessions run at the centre are open to all players regardless of team affiliation or ability.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

The centre is based at the FAW facility, Amdani Hi @ Ocean Way. This is a pioneering hub for women's and girls' football, funded by the FAW.[9]
