The award-winning BBC documentary The Women Who Built Glasgow City has returned to BBC iPlayer, bringing with it a stirring and emotional chronicle of the rise of Scotlandâs most successful womenâs football club.
Available to stream for the next 28 days, the film is a celebration of courage, resilience, and the power of saying âyesâ in the face of a world that constantly says âno.â
Told through the eyes of Laura Montgomery and Carol Anne Stewart, the documentary traces the origins of Glasgow City FC â a club founded in 1998 with no financial support, no established model to follow, and no assurances of success. What it did have was a bold vision and a group of determined women unwilling to accept limitations.
What began as a defiant grassroots effort has since transformed into a record-breaking institution in Scottish sport. Glasgow City FC has not only rewritten the history books on the pitch, but also redefined whatâs possible for women in football.
But this is more than a story about sport. Itâs a narrative of feminism and friendship, of building something from nothing in spaces not built for you. Itâs about perseverance, community, and creating opportunities for the next generation.
Hailed as one of the most inspiring portrayals of women in sport, The Women Who Built Glasgow City captures the quiet revolution led by Montgomery, Stewart, and the many others who joined their cause. Their journey is a testament to the power of vision, grit, and the unwavering belief that change is not only necessary â itâs possible.
Donât miss this compelling story of transformation and triumph, now streaming on BBC iPlayer.
