Manchester 62 Football Club Women is an amateur association football club in Gibraltar, currently playing in the Gibraltar Women's Football League. The club is affiliated to Manchester 62.

History[]

The earliest known record of Manchester 62's women's team is in the 1999 season of the Gibraltar Women's Football League, with the league seemingly abandoned with the Red Devils, top of the league.[1] After a 6 year absence, the team returned in 2005,[2] remaining involved in the league for 11 years before folding during the 2016–17 season.[3]

On the eve of the season, it was revealed that Manchester 62 would return to senior football after 5 years.[4] Fielding a young side built from the club's youth teams, they lost on their return 9-0 against another new entry to the league, Gibraltar Wave.[5]
