Encyclopedia
Sevilla FC Femenino is a Spanish
women's football team, representing Sevilla FC
. It currently competes in Segunda División.
In 2004 Sevilla FC signed a collaboration with local Superliga Femenina
team CD Híspalis. While remaining an independent club, Híspalis played for the next three seasons in Sevilla FC's training facilities using its name, kit and badge. The team improved significantly and in 2006 it was the runner-up of the Superliga, losing what would have been their first title to RCD Espanyol on the goal average. Sevilla's Auxiliadora Jiménez
was the season's top scorer.
However Sevilla/Híspalis declined as fast as it emerged, and in 2007 it ended last in the table. Following the resulting relegation Sevilla FC broke with Híspalis and created their own women's team, beginning from the regional categories. In 2009 the team reached Primera Nacional, as it was then known Segunda División, but was instead promoted directly to the Superliga as RFEF decided to expand the category with women's sections of clubs from the male leagues
