History

edit

In 2001, the name "Le Mans Union Club 72" was officially granted to the women's team, responding to the players' request for greater recognition and the necessity of establishing a women's section within the club, as is typical in professional football clubs.

In the 2021–22 season, the team had an outstanding year, finishing unbeaten in their Regional 1 campaign with 20 wins from 20 matches.[2] They also won the Pays-de-la-Loire Cup. In the Division 2 promotion playoffs, they defeated CPB Bréquigny (6–1 on aggregate) and SM Caen (3–2), earning promotion to Division 2.
