The women's football section of FC Twente[1] was founded in 2007. It has won both the Vrouwen Eredivisie and its successor the BeNe League.[2]

History

FC Twente played its first match 29 August 2007 in the newly founded Eredivisie's inaugural game, losing 2–3 against SC Heerenveen. It was also the first match of the Eredivisie in its inaugural season.[3] The team ended in the bottom half of the table in its first three seasons, finishing 5th of 6 in 2008, 5th of 7 in 2009 and 4th of 6 in 2010. However, it won the national cup in 2008, beating FC Utrecht 3–1 in the final.

In the 2010–11 season Twente clinched its first championship on the last matchday with a 4–1 win over Willem II, ending AZ Alkmaar's three-year hegemony. Along with the title the team qualified for the 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League, where it was defeated by Russian champion WFC Rossiyanka in the first round, and the new BeNe Super Cup, which they lost 1–4 against Belgian champion Standard Liège. In the last edition of the Eredivisie, which was merged in 2012 into the BeNe League, Twente couldn't defend the title, ending 14 points behind ADO Den Haag in the 2nd position.

Twente won its second championship in its BeNe League debut, snatching the lead from Standard Liège with a last matchday 3–1 win. The Tukkers narrowly missed a double, losing the national cup's final on penalties against ADO Den Haag.
