Fulham FC Women, previously known as Fulham LFC, WFC Fulham and Fulham FC Foundation Ladies, is a women's football club based in London, England. The team were dissolved as of 16 May 2006, but were later re-established with independence from Fulham F.C. The club dissolved for a second time in June 2010 when sponsors pulled out following a second successive relegation.[2] The club reformed again in 2014.

Fulham became the first Ladies' football team in Europe to turn full-time professional in April 2000;[3][4] club chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed reverted the club to semi-professional status three years later,[5] but the club reformed in 2014.
