History
edit2016 - 2026
editThe ISPE Women’s Football Team, under the Sports and Physical Education Department, was founded in 2016. The club won its first Myanmar Women League title in the 2018–19 season [1], marking the beginning of a successful period. They secured a second championship in 2022 [2] before relinquishing the title to Myawady in 2023.
ISPE regained the league title in the 2024 season, bringing their total to three championships.[3] The club gained national recognition after their success in the AFC Women's Champions League qualifiers, where they were honoured by government officials.[4] In the 2025–26 season, the club remained a strong contender and competed closely with Ayeyawady throughout the campaign. The title race was decided on the final matchday, where ISPE were ultimately surpassed by Ayeyawady and finished as runners-up. They also reached the group stage of the 2025–26 AFC Women's Champions League.[5]
