History

20 March 2007, the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) officially unveiled the professional Dutch women's football league (Eredivisie Vrouwen) for three seasons starting in 2007–08 with FC Utrecht amongst the six clubs taking part.[5][6]

The club played its first official match on 30 August 2007, a 0–2 home defeat to AZ at the Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch in its opening Eredivisie match of the 2007–08 season.[7][8] The team had a good season finishing third in the league and runners-up in the KNVB Women's Cup (Dutch Cup), after losing the final 3–0 to FC Twente.[9]

A fourth place finish in the league's 2008–09 season was followed by a fifth place in the next season (2009–10), in that same season the club won the Dutch Cup, on 15 May 2010 by beating Ter Leede 3–0 in the final,[10] and subsequently, on 27 August 2010 defeated 3–1 (after extra time) Eredivisie champion AZ to win the Dutch Super Cup.[11][12]

On 22 February 2011, during the second half of the 2010–11 season, a meeting between the League (Stichting Eredivisie Vrouwen - SEV), KNVB and clubs was held to discuss possible improvement to the league. A statement from the KNVB announced that from next season matchdays would move from Thursdays to Fridays, relationship changes between clubs and their affiliated amateur clubs, guideline principles amongst other topics discussed and the financial conditions were to be discussed on a further meeting, as the KNVB was trying to keep the league with eight teams next season.[13] On 8 March 2011, FC Utrecht became the third team (after AZ and Willem II)[14] to announce its league withdraw from next season due to financial reasons.[15][16] In order to keep going without the club financial support, the Stichting Vrouwenvoetbal Utrecht (SVVU) (English: Utrecht Women's Football Foundation) was created on 6 April 2011, to provide the necessary finances and use FC Utrecht women's football license to register a team in the league.[17] At the end of the 2010–11 season, the club finished fifth in the league. On 3 May 2011, the SEV and KNVB confirmed FC Utrecht as one of the six participants of the Eredivisie 2011–12 season,[18] where the team finished fourth.

In 2012 the professional women's leagues of Belgium and the Netherlands merged creating the 16 teams BeNe League, FC Utrecht was one of the eight Dutch teams who participated of its inaugural 2012–13 season.[19][20] The team finished the season in 12th place.

In June 2013, despite financial concerns the team applied for a license to play the 2013–14 BeNe League season. [21][22] By the end of October, the Utrecht Women's Football Foundation (SVVU) which ran the club, no longer able to meet its financial obligations started to analyse the possibilities of continuing even in an amateur basis.[23]

On 10 January 2014, the SVVU filed for bankruptcy at the district court of Utrecht.[24][25] On 21 January 2014, the district court of Utrecht ruled SVVU as bankrupt providing a legal eight days period to appeal the court's decision. During the eight days period, the team had to meet its competition obligations which included an away match against Club Brugge on 24 January.[26] FC Utrecht won the match 2–1, it was the team's last official match.[27] After the eight days appeal period expired, the SVVU was legally dissolved from 30 January 2014 at 0:00 CET, having played 16 matches and in eleventh position in the standings, the team was removed from the BeNe League and had all its 2013–14 season (BeNe League and Dutch Cup) results revoked and fixtures cancelled.[28][29][30][31]

Affiliated clubs

Professional women's football clubs in the Netherlands are required by the Royal Dutch Football Association to affiliate an amateur club who would use players coming back from injury or reserve players or young talented players from the professional club.[32][33] FC Utrecht chose SV Saestum as its associated club.[34]

La sección femenina del FC Utrecht fue un equipo fútbol femenino de los Países Bajos con sede en Utrecht. Se creó en 2007 como uno de los equipos fundacionales de la Eredivisie femenina. Compitió en esta liga hasta 2012 y luego en la Liga BeNe hasta la desaparición del club en enero de 2014. La mayoría de clubes de la nueva Eredivisie se fusionaron con clubes amateurs que competían en la anterior liga no-profesional, llamada Hoofdklasse. En el caso del Utrecht, el club amateur al que se unió fue el Saestum, un equipo de la ciudad holandesa de Zeist en la provincia de Utrecht. El FC Utrecht se hizo responsable económicamente del Saestum a cambio de disponer de sus jugadoras como si fuera un equipo filial. Debutó en la Eredivisie, el 30 de agosto de 2007 enfrentándose de local al AZ con un resultado de 2-0 para los visitantes.
