Glasgow City are continuing their commitment to Be Louder by showing support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the 'Tie a Pink Ribbon' campaign, launched by the players during our 3-1 ScottishPower Women's Premier League victory over Montrose.
Breast cancer remains the most common cancer in the UK and can happen at any age and it is not just women who are affected. The earlier the detection the better the chance of successful treatment.
Over half of women do not check their breasts regularly for potential breast cancer with only 45% of women in 2024 checking their breasts regularly, down from 49% in 2022.
One in seven women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime while 99% of new cases are detected in women.
As a club we want to continue to use our platform to encourage healthy conversation as it relates to breast cancer.
As part of the campaign, players and staff will be wearing pink ribbons at our upcoming home league matches against Motherwell and Rangers and our away league match against Partick Thistle which will also take place at The Peasy.
JOIN US AT THE PEASY AS WE HOST MOTHERWELL AND RANGERS IN BACK TO BACK HOME GAMES.
Fans are encouraged to show their support by wearing pink ribbons in whatever manner they feel comfortable in doing so and ribbon will be made available on matchdays.
This month's campaign will also feature conversations with the Glasgow City squad highlighting the importance of regular checking and fundraising events.
Breast cancer doesn't show sides, so let's beat this together.
