Paris SO Cœur,[2] formerly known as FF Issy and GPSO 92 Issy, is a French women's football based in Issy-les-Moulineaux, founded in 1997 as EuroPeru (French: EuroPérou). The club currently competes in Ligue de Paris-Île-de-France de football Régional 1 Féminine, the fourth-tier of women's football in France.

History

GPSO 92 Issy were founded in 1997 by three Peruvian sisters, Edith, Merylin and Mercedes Bohorquez, under the name EuroPeru.[3][4] The team initially consisted of 20 players from the local Peruvian community, and they played at the Stade Jean-Bouin in Issy-les-Moulineaux. The team began playing in the French league system in November 1999.[4] In 2001, the club was renamed Foot Féminin d'Issy (FF Issy),[3] after being taken over by Corinne Mesas.[4] In 2012, former FF Issy manager Christine Aubère took over the club.[5][6] GPSO 92 Issy is one of the only French clubs to be run exclusively for women, rather than being affiliated with a men's team.[7] In the 2020–21 season, GPSO 92 Issy and Soyaux were the only exclusively female top division teams,[8] and GPSO 92 Issy has over 250 members.[7][9]

In 2001, FF Issy played in Promotion de Ligue, the lowest division of the French regional football league.[8] FF Issy achieved three successive promotions to reach the top division (Honorary Division) of the regional Paris-Île-de-France League for the 2003–2004 season. FF Issy missed promotion by finishing second in the next two consecutive seasons, before later achieving promotion to Division 2 Féminine for the 2009–2010 season. FF Issy were promoted to Division 1 Féminine for the 2012–13 season.[3][10] They also played in the 2014–15 Division 1 Féminine.[10] In 2018, there were suggestions of the club merging with men's Championnat National team Red Star,[10] though the plans were later abandoned.[11]

FF Issy were winning League A of the 2019–2020 Division 2 Féminine by 12 points when the league was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed that Issy would be promoted to Division 1 Féminine for the 2020–21 season.[12] In 2020, the team was renamed from FF Issy to Grand Paris Seine Ouest 92 Issy (GPSO 92 Issy).[1][4] The new name reflects the fact the team is based in Hauts-de-Seine, which is French department number 92.[1] Issy were initially relegated from Division 1 Féminine the next season.[13] In July 2021, the FFF reprieved Issy, meaning that they would compete in the 2021–22 Division 1 Féminine. The decision was due to the knock-on effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the French league systems.[14] They finished 11th in the league, and were relegated to Division 2 Féminine for the 2022–2023 season.[15] In July 2022, Issy appointed 23-year old Erwann Bouchard as their new manager. He was the youngest manager in the French football leagues at the time.[16]
