History

SC Bettembourg has been running a men's team since 1908, but it wasn't until 2012 when the women's team was introduced. They began in Division 3 and quickly rose up the rankings. In their inaugural season, the women's team won promotion into the second division, then in the 2013–14 season SC Bettembourg won promotion into Division 1 as well as launching a second women's team.[2]

In their first season in the top flight in the 2014–15 season, SC Bettembourg finished in second place only by goal difference – tied on points with Jeunesse Junglinster.[4] SC Bettembourg's 15 year old attacker Karen Marin won player of the season.[5] The team also finished second in the 2015–16 season,[6] as well as finishing runners-up in the Women's Cup.[7] After successive second places, in the 2016–17 season finally bettered their adversaries Jeunesse Junglinster by winning their first league title by a comfortable 6 points and thus qualifying for their first ever Women's Champions League.[8]

SC Bettembourg did not fare well in the 2017–18 Women's Champions League qualifying round, losing their first match 0–8 to PAOK[9] and not scoring a goal in two further defeats.[10]

The team won their second league title out of just five top-flight seasons in the 2018–19 season[11] and once again qualified for the Women's Champions League. Despite another thrashing in their first game of the 2019–20 edition, losing 0–12 to FC Minsk,[12] SC Bettembourg scored their first Champions League goals in a 2–7 defeat to Split, with Kate Thill scoring both.[13]
