Racing Club Roubaix Wervicq Féminin (RCRWF), commonly known as RC Roubaix-Wervicq, is a French women's association football club founded in 2018 and based in the city of Roubaix. It is currently playing in Division 3 Féminine, the third-tier of French Football.
History
Founded in May 2018, the club originated in Bousbecque, Nord. The project began in April 2017, when entrepreneur Jean-Baptiste Gallen attended a women's football match in Bousbecque. Struck by the poor quality of the players' equipment, he initially financed new kits, becoming a first partner of the team. A return visit in September 2017, during which the players expressed their gratitude, motivated him to take a more active role in the project.[1]
With additional financial support from private investors, the team quickly developed into a fully structured club. The number of registered players grew from 14 to 100 within a few months, enabling the establishment of a formal sporting organisation and youth sections. This rapid growth culminated in the transformation of the team into a fully dedicated women's football club, officially named FC Bousbecque Féminin (FCBF) in May 2018, and it subsequently joined the regional league system.[2]
In September 2022, a little over three years after its creation, the club relocated its senior operations to Roubaix and adopted the name RC Roubaix-Wervicq. Home matches were moved to the Roubaix Velodrome, while some youth and training activities continued to take place in Wervicq. The move was intended to provide improved infrastructure and support the club's long-term objective of reaching elite levels in French women's football.[3][4]
In May 2023, following the reintroduction of the Division 3 Féminine, Roubaix-Wervicq secured promotion to the league after winning their Hauts-de-France regional league.[5][6]
