The club won early regional titles in the late 1990s and early 2000s before rising to national-level competitions. A major turning point came in 2014 when the team joined the FA Women’s Super League and became fully professional. City Women FC reached new heights in 2016, winning the league title unbeaten and conceding only a few goals during the campaign.
