FC Nantes Féminin is the women's section of historic French club FC Nantes, created in 2012 as part of a broader project to establish women's football within the club. The senior team entered competition in 2014 starting from the lowest division in Loire-Atlantique and embarked on a remarkable rise through the French football pyramid. The breakthrough moment came on 26 May 2024 when Nantes secured promotion to the Première Ligue (formerly Division 1 Féminine) with a 2-0 victory over Albi Marssac, reaching the top flight just ten years after their senior team's first competitive match. Coached by Nicolas Chabot, FC Nantes Féminin have quickly adapted to life in France's top division, establishing themselves as competitive newcomers in the 2024-25 season and building on that foundation in 2025-26. The squad features a mix of experienced players recruited to bolster the squad for top-flight football and homegrown talent developed through the club's academy pathway. FC Nantes women play their regular home matches at Stade Marcel-Saupin, a 2,000-capacity venue in the heart of Nantes. For higher-profile fixtures, the team has access to the Stade de la Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau, the iconic 35,000-seat stadium shared with the men's team. The club's rapid ascent from district football to the Première Ligue stands as one of the most impressive development stories in recent French women's football history.
- Promotion to Première Ligue (2024)
- Rise from district level to top flight in 10 years
- 2019 promotion to national level
