Cardiff Met University is one of the only institutions in the country that supports elite semi-professional football for both Men & Women. Our teams compete in the top University (BUCS) leagues and also in the Cymru and Adran premier respectively.
Success Is In Our DNA, With Notable Achievements Including
* The first University to ever reach the Europa League Qualification stages and the UEFA Women’s Champions League Qualifiers.
* Have been crowned British University Champion’s on five occasions (x3 women; x2 men)
* Winners of the Women’s Welsh Premier League on 6 occasions.
Players that have come through our system in recent years include:
* Sophie Ingle (Wales Captain and Champions League Winner with Chelsea FC)
* Will Evans (Newport County)
* Adam Roscrow (AFC Wimbledon)
In addition, the club has been awarded Category A status for its Junior Academy (U8 - U19), making it one of only 4 in Wales.
To continue to grow and develop the football system, we recently completed a transfer of the football club from its original student roots, into the University and formed CMUFC Ltd. The club now operates as a subsidiary, benefitting from wider institutional support. This new entity will have at its heart a balanced, diverse, inclusive and skilled Board. The first step in this process is to appoint an independent Chair. We will then also recruit for a further 6-8 members based on the needs and requirements of the football club.
