The football club based in Leicester serving the lesbian, gay and bisexual community.
Formed in 1996, they believe that sexual orientation should not be a barrier to playing sport.
But unfortunately, despite being football being the biggest sport in the world, it can be intimidating for gay people due to the homophobic attitudes still prevalent in the game.

Challenging Attitudes

The Wildecats have been challenging these attitudes for over a decade, and they provide an outlet for people to play football in a friendly non-judgemental environment.

They attract both male and female players of all abilities, ages, and races and are proud to be a community club. They even have straight players who believe in our ethos!


Go along to one of  their kickabouts, which take place every Wednesday at 8pm at St Margarets Pasture astroturf pitches. New members are always welcome to try out - it's an alternative to going out on the scene and you'll get fit!
