History

GPSO 92 Issy were founded in 1997 by three Peruvian sisters, Edith, Merylin and Mercedes Bohorquez, under the name EuroPeru. The team initially consisted of 20 players from the local Peruvian community, and they played at the Stade Jean-Bouin in Issy-les-Moulineaux. The team began playing in the French league system in November 1999. In 2001, the club was renamed Foot Feminin d'Issy (FF Issy), after being taken over by Corinne Mesas. In 2012, former FF Issy manager Christine Aubere took over the club. GPSO 92 Issy is one of the only French clubs to be run exclusively for women, rather than being affiliated with a men's team. In the 2020–21 season, GPSO 92 Issy and Soyaux were the only exclusively female top division teams, and GPSO 92 Issy has over 250 members.

In 2001, FF Issy played in Promotion de Ligue, the lowest division of the French regional football league. FF Issy achieved three successive promotions to reach the top division (Honorary Division) of the regional Paris-Ile-de-France League for the 2003–2004 season. FF Issy missed promotion by finishing second in the next two consecutive seasons, before later achieving promotion to Division 2 Feminine for the 2009–2010 season. FF Issy were promoted to Division 1 Feminine for the 2012–13 season. They also played in the 2014–15 Division 1 Feminine.
