BLUE BIRDS LADIES FOOTBALL CLUB is based in Alexandra & is playing under SAFA SASOL PROVINCIAL WOMAN'S LEAGUE. The club was previously known as UNITED LADIES F.C, while campaigning at the Regional league . We are an organization that provides local children with an opportunity to play soccer and to also build their self esteem. We teach them hard work as it is our primary priority which keeps them away from the streets but rather something to focus their attention to. We always emphasize the importance of education, teamwork, respect and dedication.
