History

Their debut came in 1993 in the Greater London Division, and quickly rose to the heights of the FA Women's National Premier League, via the Greater London Premier Division, the South East Combination League and the Southern Premier League. They first reached the FA Women's Cup final in 2001. The Football Association Women’s Challenge Cup Competition, commonly referred to as the FA Womens Cup, is the top cup competition for womens football clubs in England - designed as an exact equivalent to the FA Cup. ...

In the 2001/02 season, where they won promotion to the Premiership, they also won the London County Cup, the Premier League Cup and the FA Women's Cup, scoring 342 goals in an amazing season, conceding just 15. This was their first season as a Professional team.

They won the treble of FA Cup, League Cup and Premier League in 2002/03, scoring 68 goals and conceding just 13. Last season they were the only English team to compete in the UEFA Women's European Cup, and they came 2nd in the Premier League. The Football Association Premier League Cup is a cup competition in English womens football (soccer). ...

During the 2005–2006 season, having lost most of their squad to a variety of factors (such as the choice to revert to semi-professional status), they struggled in the league, finishing eighth.

On May 16, 2006, Fulham announced that they were withdrawing the team from the Women's Premiership and discontinuing the team altogether. The decision to dissolve the team was made on financial grounds, with Fulham officially laying the blame on a poor media coverage and poor league attendance. Fulham F.C. did announce plans to continue its Girls Development Centre, but clearly stated they would not be fielding any further league teams in the foreseeable future.^[3] is the 136th day of the year (137th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2006 (MMVI) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Following the withdrawal of the funding of the Ladies, Fulham Football Club agreed to allow club officers, parents and players to take over the reins in order that the team could continue playing at the highest level of women's football - the Women's Premier League. The same fate had befallen several other ladies teams in recent years. As there is now no connection with Fulham FC, it was decided to alter the club's name to Fulham WFC and then WFC Fulham, in order to make this separation clear.

The new committee was presented with a number of difficult problems to solve. Fortunately, with much hard work, these were overcome and in a very short space of time, the new committee moved mountains and obtained the following:

• Funding via generous donations and sponsorships;
• FA and Surrey County FA affiliations;
• A home ground at Burnham FC;
• A back-up ground at Marlow FC;
• A reserve team pitch at Burnham Grammar School;
• Training facilities at the Kingsmeadow Athletics Stadium, Kingston;
• A fully staffed management team of first and reserve team coaches and physiotherapists, a director of football and a fitness coach (with the availability of a performance analyst, nutritionist and sports psychologist if required);
• A squad of 40 players for the two teams;
• Mini-bus transport for first team and reserve away games;
• Playing, match day and training kits and equipment;
• A programme for all home games;
• A club website at www.fulhamwfc.com

Season 2006 -2007 saw the club survive albeit with the expected relegation of the first team from the National Division but with the bonus of a county cup final appearance. With the confirmation of a first class 'footballing package' for season 2007-2008 (see above), the committee is hopeful that the new season will not only be one of consolidation but also of success on the pitch for both teams. ^[4]
