Arsenal Women: Our Journey To Be Proud OfArsenal Women’s journey began in 1987 at the Britania Leisure Centre, Shoreditch Park. Vic Akers and Alicia O’Grady established the team, fostering community ties and empowering young female players. From humble beginnings with no salaries, the team achieved remarkable success, winning leagues and the FA Cup. This legacy of inclusion and community engagement continues today at Emirates Stadium, their permanent home, inspiring future generations.
