History

Club Atlético Independiente was one of eight teams participating in the first Argentine amateur women's football season in 1991.[2]

So far, their best results in Primera División A were the three consecutive runner-ups achieved in the Clausura 2002, Apertura 2002 tournaments (where, when they were equal in points with River Plate, the championship was defined by means of a tiebreaker match)[3] and Clausura 2003.[4] Independiente's only relegation to Primera División B was in the 2016–17 season. In this division, they remained for only one season, since they had a successful campaign of 30 wins, 3 draws, 1 single defeat, and more than 100 goals, they became champion of the 2017-18 Primera División B season, achieving promotion and returning to Primera División A, where they have been playing intermittently since 1991.[5][6][7]

In 2019, Independiente participated in the first season of the professional era in Argentina women's football. On the 8th round of said season, they played at the Estadio Libertadores de América for the first time in history.[8]
