Fénix FC is a Spanish football team consisting entirely of trans men,[1] The team was founded by Hugo Marlo after being forced out of the women's league once he began hormone therapy[2] based in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Catalonia.

Fenix played friendly matches against other regional teams during the 2024 pre-season.[3] The team played their first official match against Palleja CF B on 21 September 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]
