Fenix FC is a Spanish Regional League fifth-tier football team consisting entirely of trans men.

[3] The team played their first official match against Palleja CF B on September 21, 2024 and lost 19-0. [1] [4] The players are working on getting back in shape after having to leave the teams they played in before their transition. [5]
