Following the town hall held in October 2024, the Directors of the Storm made the difficult decision to wind up operations, and let women's football take a new direction in the Edmonton area. Thank you to all who have supported us through the years by playing, coaching, volunteering, fundraising, and showing up for the amazing women of the Storm. Women already face barriers to participating in sports, but a sport as male-dominated as football comes with additional challenges that every woman and girl who put on the pads overcame to play. Thank you to the women in Calgary, Lethbridge, Saskatoon, Regina, and Winnipeg, who gave us the opportunity not only to play, but compete at a high level.
Women's football in the Edmonton region is not over. The Greater Edmonton Phoenix is a new organization ready to move football forward for all women and girls. Follow them on Instagram and Facebook.
Thank you.
