Fleury 91

FC Fleury 91 is a women's football club based in Fleury-Mérogis in the Essonne department, south of Paris. Founded in 2003 as FCF Val d'Orge to train young players, the club steadily climbed through the French football pyramid — reaching the Division d'Honneur in 2006, earning promotion to Division 2 Féminine in 2012, and securing their place in the top division in 2017. Under head coach Frédéric Biancalani, Fleury have developed a reputation for combining technical quality with strong team spirit. The club's finest cup moment came in the 2023-24 Coupe de France Féminine, where Fleury 91 reached the final for the first time in their history before falling 0-1 to Paris Saint-Germain. That run demonstrated Fleury's growing stature in French women's football, proving that the club from the Île-de-France suburbs can compete with the sport's biggest names. Fleury consistently punch above their weight in the Première Ligue, regularly finishing in the upper half of the table. FC Fleury 91 play their home matches at the Stade Auguste Gentelet in Fleury-Mérogis, a 2,000-capacity venue within the Complexe Sportif Auguste Gentelet. Despite modest resources compared to clubs like Lyon and PSG, Fleury's consistent competitiveness and development pathway have made them one of the most respected smaller clubs in the French women's game.
