Girona FC Femení A, referred to by the club as Senior A, is a football team from Girona, the women's section of Girona FC. Three seasons after reviving their women's section, Girona bought the women's section of Sant Pere Pescador and renamed them.[2][3]

History

Although Girona FC operated a senior women's team for a number of years, financial constraints had forced them to resign to its place in Segunda División in 2013 and to cease operations in 2016.[2] Girona FC Femení returned to competition in 2017–18, in the second division of the Catalan regional leagues, the fifth tier of women's football in Spain.[2]

Three seasons later, the club purchased the women's section of local club Sant Pere Pescador (founded in 2009),[1] renaming the senior team to Girona FC Senior A. The existing team was renamed Girona FC Senior B.[3]
