Chelsea FC celebrated Female Football Week with a strong message on and off the pitch, highlighting both player achievements and leadership behind the scenes.

Senior Women’s player Cindy Kiprillis was recognised for her 50th game with the club, bringing leadership and culture to the SL3 squad.

“Raising the bar means pushing beyond what’s expected — the effort, the energy, and lifting each other up,” said Kiprillis, who praised the team’s inclusive spirit and continued growth.

The club also spotlighted committee member Hannah Walder, who has helped drive change through inclusive policy and infrastructure improvements.

“It’s about more than inclusion — it’s about normalising equality for the next generation,” Walder said. “We’ve laid foundations, now it’s time to build on them.”

Friday night saw Chelsea’s Senior Women claim a commanding 12–0 win at Royal Blue HQ, with U8–U12 girl mascots walking the team onto the field. The evening ran alongside Masters Men fixtures and drew a vibrant local crowd.

Celebrations continue this Sunday with a full slate of Girls and Women’s home fixtures, cementing the club’s commitment to female football across all levels.

Go Chelsea!
