List of FC Barcelona Femení seasons

This is a list of seasons played by FC Barcelona Femení, the women's section of football club FC Barcelona. It competes in the Spanish League from the Estadi Johan Cruyff in Sant Joan Despí, near Barcelona.

In the 1970s it competed as Penya Femenina Barcelona and from 1983 to 2002 it competed as Club Femení Barcelona.[1]

1970–1980

edit

In 1971, following the success of an embryonic Barcelona women's team, an independent association for Catalan women's football was founded. It inaugurated a Catalan Cup and then the Catalan Championship league, both operated by sponsors, though the league was soon taken over by Educación y Descanso [es]. A sponsor-operated National Championship league (which still featured mostly Catalan teams) began in 1974, after which formal leagues ceased for a few years. An Educación y Descanso affiliate resumed operating a Catalan women's league and cup in the later 1970s.

1981–1988

edit

The Catalan Football Federation started the Catalan League [ca] in 1980, with the Copa Generalitat [ca] (a direct predecessor of the Copa Catalunya) as the Catalan national-level cup competition. In 1983, the Copa de la Reina was founded by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) as the Spanish national-level cup competition. As the RFEF did not start a women's league until 1988, the champions of the Copa de la Reina were recognised as Spanish champions during this period; Barcelona did not participate.

Barcelona was a founding member of the Catalan League, but did not ever win it.
