Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace Féminines, commonly known as RC Strasbourg, or simply Racing, is a French professional association football club based in Strasbourg. Founded in 2011, it currently competes in the Première Ligue.[1]

History

The women's section of RC Strasbourg Alsace began in 2011 with an under-7 team, laying the foundation for the senior team, which was established five years later for the 2016–2017 season.[2] In 2019, Les Strasbourgeoises clinched the Alsace Regional 1 championship but fell short in the national promotion playoffs to reach Division 2.[3] However, in 2020, Racing was promoted to Division 2.[4] Their first match in the second tier was a derby against FC Vendenheim where the team won 2–1.[5] After four seasons in Division 2, the team was crowned champions in the 2023–24 season, achieving promotion to Division 1 Féminine for the first time in the club's history.[6][7][8]
