Launched during the 2023/24 season for the men's team, the initiative is now being expanded to women's fixtures as part of a new era for CFCW at Stamford Bridge.

For every game played at the Bridge by our women's team, the club reserves 30 tickets so local residents and community members are able to watch the action. Residents will also have the opportunity to purchase additional tickets at the same time, subject to availability.

Nadia Shahrestani, business operations director for Chelsea FC Women, said: 'We are delighted to announce the extension of the My First Game initiative to Chelsea FC Women fixtures at Stamford Bridge.

‘This initiative will see local residents have the opportunity to watch our incredible women's team for the first time. In a pivotal season for the women's team, as we play all WSL matches at Stamford Bridge, it is great to share this new era with the local community.

‘This is the natural next step in the development of the scheme following the success of My First Game for the men's team in recent years and provides a unique opportunity for local residents to connect with women's football.

‘We hope that this initiative will help to inspire the next generation of CFCW fans.'

To qualify for the tickets, the recipients must either live or attend school within a one-mile radius of Stamford Bridge. Providing they do not have a prior ticket purchase history, we will allocate tickets for an upcoming home match. They will only be able to attend one match via the My First Game initiative, and details of how to apply will be announced soon.
