Hibs Women To Celebrate 500 SWPL Matches

Hibernian Women travel to Petershill Park this weekend to play in what will be our 500th Scottish Women’s Premier League fixture - read below for full details!

The landmark match will fittingly take place against a fellow pioneer of the Scottish Women’s game, Glasgow City, who will simultaneously celebrate their 500th SWPL fixture on Sunday 16 March. 

Founded in 1997 as Preston Athletic, and soon renamed Hibs Ladies in 1999, our Club rapidly became a great force in the Scottish Women’s Football League. 

Upon the introduction of the SWPL in 2002, Hibernian immediately fought for the league glory. Though Kilmarnock pipped the Hibees to the title in the inaugural campaign, the Club remained a consistent challenger at the top end of the division and went on to win three league titles in the years that followed. 

Come 2020 - following the title triumphs and 15 domestic cup trophy lifts - we, for the first time, handed out professional contracts and rebranded to become, as we are known today, Hibernian Women.
