History

Thistle Weir Ladies Football Club was officially founded as part of the Thistle Weir Academy in 2014, having previously existed as part of the Charitable Trust for one year prior to that.[1][2] On 22 October 2018, because the top two teams in the SWFL 1 South (Hibernian U23s and Celtic Academy) were not eligible for promotion as subsidiaries of top division clubs,[3] third-placed Thistle Weir were promoted to the Scottish Women's Premier League 2.[4]

On 23 January 2019, the club rebranded as Partick Thistle Women's Football Club.[1]

Stadium

The club currently plays its home games at Petershill Park in Springburn, Glasgow.[5]
