SD Eibar Femenino is a Spanish women's football team from Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, currently playing in Liga F. It is the women's section of SD Eibar.
Below the first team, the club also incorporates a senior B-team playing at the provincial fourth level, plus three youth teams.
History
Eibar women's team was founded in 1991 as Eibartarrak Futbol Taldea. Eibartarrak reached the Copa de la Reina final and won the Supercopa in 1999, and was the League's runner-up two years later. However, it wasn't included in the unified 2001–2002 Superliga Femenina, instead playing in Primera Nacional. In 2003 it adopted SD Eibar's name (as Eibar-Eibartarrak) and kit, while remaining an independent club.
In 2009 it finally became a section of SD Eibar, and was promoted to the Superliga following a reform of the competition. Eibar was relegated two years later.
In 2017–18, Eibar posted their best result for a decade with a 3rd-place finish in the second tier, in a season which was seen as successful for all teams attached to the club.
In 2019–20, Eibar was granted promotion to the Primera División as the team ranked second behind Athletic Club Femenino's reserve team (not eligible for promotion) when the league was ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They were relegated after two seasons in the top tier, but bounced back immediately in 2022–23, with a similar scenario to three years earlier: this time Barcelona B won the division, with Eibar promoted as runners-up.
The team plays their home matches at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua, a historic stadium with a passionate fan base that supports the team through thick and thin. Eibar Women are known for their attacking style of play, with quick passing and creative movement that keeps their opponents on their toes.
Off the field, Eibar Women are actively involved in their community, participating in various outreach programs and initiatives to promote women's sports and empower young girls to pursue their athletic dreams. With a rich history and a bright future ahead, Eibar Women are a force to be reckoned with in Spanish women's football.
