EDI UNI THISTLE
EDI UNI THISTLE COMPETES IN SWFL EAST AND IS OPEN TO NON-UNIVERSITY PLAYERS
Edi Uni Thistle was formed in 2022 as part of EUWAFC's partnership with Boroughmuir Thistle FC. Thistle competes in SWFL East and is open to non-university players!
Whilst Thistle is mostly comprised of players from our University squads, our team also contains alumni and players entirely unaffiliated with Edinburgh University.
As Thistle is part of SWFL East we play our games on Sundays against teams from all across East Scotland. This makes Thistle an excellent option for players who can't commit to playing on a Wednesday with our competitive teams but still wish to play competitive football.
Thistle is always on the lookout for new players - please get in touch with us if you are interested in playing football in Edinburgh but either can't commit to a University squad or aren't a student at Edinburgh.
Thistle had a successful 2023/24 season, reaching the semi-finals of the SWFL Plate and finishing sixth in SWFL East.
We hope to improve on our performances in the 2024/25 season and look forward to welcoming new players to our team!
