Association de la Jeunesse Auxerroise (French pronunciation: [asɔsjɑsjɔ̃ də la ʒœnɛs osɛʁwaz]), commonly known as AJ Auxerre or just Auxerre, is a French professional women's football club based in the commune of Auxerre in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. It serves as the women's section of its Ligue 1 namesake and competes in the Seconde Ligue – the second tier of the French league system.
History
The club established its women's section in 2018 and entered the league system the same year at the Régional 2 level, the second tier of regional football.[1][2] The team achieved immediate success by securing promotion in its inaugural season.[3][4] After five years in Régional 1, the team topped the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regional league and secured promotion to Division 3 Féminine following a two-legged playoff victory over Orvault Sports Football.[5][6] In their debut season at the third tier, the team won their group and achieved promotion to the Seconde Ligue for the first time in their history, marking another milestone in the club's progression.[7][8]
