Le Mans Football Club (French: Le Mans Football Club féminines) commonly referred to as Le Mans FC or simply Le Mans, is a women's football club based in Le Mans, France. It's the women's section of Le Mans FC. Coached by Damien Bollini, the club competes in the Seconde Ligue.[1]

History

In 2001, the name "Le Mans Union Club 72" was officially granted to the women's team, responding to the players' request for greater recognition and the necessity of establishing a women's section within the club, as is typical in professional football clubs.

In the 2021–22 season, the team had an outstanding year, finishing unbeaten in their Regional 1 campaign with 20 wins from 20 matches.[2] They also won the Pays-de-la-Loire Cup. In the Division 2 promotion playoffs, they defeated CPB Bréquigny (6–1 on aggregate) and SM Caen (3–2), earning promotion to Division 2.
