CREATING
A SPACE IN
WOMENS FOOTBALL.

Vicky Park Queens is a grassroots football team for women and non-binary people in Leicester, founded in 2021, the very week the first COVID restrictions lifted.

Since then, VPQ has welcomed over 250 players, providing a safe, inclusive, and empowering space to play the game. Today, VPQ is the largest fully inclusive women’s grassroots football team in the East Midlands, creating opportunities for players of all backgrounds, abilities, and experiences to engage with the sport. Beyond football,
the club fosters friendship and a shared love of the game, proving that grassroots football is more than just playing ball, it’s transformative.

WHY VICKY
PARK QUEENS
WAS CREATED

Vicky Park Queens FC was set up in April 2021 by Amy Drucquer and Vanisha Mistry – two childhood friends who both love the game but didn’t have a space to play that quite suited them. Joining an established team, straight in to playing matches, can be quite a daunting idea for someone who is interested in football and just wants to try it out. So they took to Instagram to find some likeminded women + non binary people for a kickabout that took football back to the basics.​

Vicky Park Queens was created to be that space that brings people together with a common interest, making friends in a fun, relaxed environment while training to learn and improve those football skills.

“VPQ has cracked it.
A weekly session to get fit, meet lovely, like-minded people who want to do the same. Being able to turn football into a real hobby…who would have thought we could love Tuesdays so much?”

GET
INVOLVED!

We’re a welcoming, inclusive bunch of 18 years+ women + non binary people and it’s as much an opportunity to meet some new people in Leicester as it is a chance to learn and practice some footy skills. We run socials throughout the year and if you ever want somebody to go watch a game with you, then we’re definitely the right group to ask!
