Millonarios Fútbol Club Femenino, commonly known as Millonarios, is a professional women's football club based in Bogotá, Colombia. They are the women's football section of Millonarios and they currently play in the Colombian Women's Football League, the top level women's football league in Colombia.

The club was officially founded on 9 May 2018 in alliance with Sergio Arboleda University. It debuted in the Colombian Women's league in the 2019 season.

History

The women's section of Millonarios dates back to the 1970s. They sporadically participated in friendly tournaments until the beginning of the 2000s. Formally in 2016, it started its minor divisions. Later in August 2017, Sergio Arboleda University joined the project by raising a sports alliance to reach professionalism in 2019.

The club begins its training on 6 June 2018, with the preselection of 23 players. The team was presented on 12 December, after six months of structuring,[2] where, in alliance with the university,[3] an agreement was formed to enrich the female squad. Subsequently, the participation of the club in the Colombian Women's League was formalized.[4] Millonarios' first selection was Fabiola Herrera from her native Peru.[5]
