Women's home game venue

Home games will be played at the KAL Group Stadium, home of Gainsborough Trinity, providing the best possible playing surface for the team.

Address: KAL Group Stadium, Northolme, Gainsborough DN21 2QW.

City’s Elite Performance Centre training ground does not meet Football Association requirements, although the club are looking into upgrades to allow home games to be played there on a regular basis. There will also be matches played at the LNER Stadium.

Academy and women’s technical director Jon Pepper said: “It was clear from talking to the players and coaching staff that they wanted to play on the best possible surface, which is why we’ve spent a lot of time this summer looking into options.

“We know the facilities are excellent, but the Elite Performance Centre doesn’t meet the Football Association requirements so it cannot yet be a permanent base for us.

“We’ve supported the players by finding the best possible pitch. We know Gainsborough Trinity will be great hosts, but we will continue to explore options to allow a return to Lincoln in the mid term."
