Our opponents
Nottingham Trent University play one tier higher in the women’s pyramid in East Midlands Regional League Division 1 - which they were champions of in 2022/24 - and to which they return this season after playing in the Premier Division last season.

In addition to their 1st team, NTU also have senior development teams in Division 1 and Division 2 of the Nottinghamshire Girls and Ladies League - as well as teams competing successfully in the midweek BUCS University leagues.

Facts and Stats
This is the first time #ThePride have been given a home draw in the Women’s FA Cup at the fifth attempt. On each occasion they have been drawn against higher league opposition, so if they are to progress to the 2nd Round Qualifying for the first time, it will require something of a cup upset.
