History

The football club was founded in 1963. A women's team only started playing in the league system in 2006. [6] After four promotions in the next seven years the team reached the top level Nationalliga A. [6]

The team ended the 2013–14 season in fourth place, third in the next season, and finished runners-up to Zürich in 2015–16.

In 2015 FC Neunkirch reached the semi-final of the Swiss Women's Cup. The team was leading FC Basel 1–0 when they were reduced to 10 players after their goalkeeper was shown a red card after 16 minutes. They eventually lost 2–1. [7]

After ten out of ten wins in the 2016–17 season they stood in first place. The team received some criticism for their lack of youth teams and because only 4 players from a 21-woman squad were Swiss. [6] They finished the season as champions and also won the 2017 cup final. [8]

Days after winning the double, the club withdrew their team from the Nationalliga A. [9] Estimated costs of over €500,000 for the next season proved too much for the club.
