History

Stade Jean Bouin was the team's original stadium.

GPSO 92 Issy were founded in 1997 by three Peruvian sisters, Edith, Merylin and Mercedes Bohorquez, under the name EuroPeru.[2][3] 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.[3] In 2001, the club was renamed Foot Féminin d'Issy (FF Issy),[2] after being taken over by Corinne Mesas.[3] In 2012, former FF Issy manager Christine Aubère took over the club.[4][5] 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.[6] In the 2020–21 season, GPSO 92 Issy and Soyaux were the only exclusively female top division teams,[7] and GPSO 92 Issy has over 250 members.[6][8]

In 2001, FF Issy played in Promotion de Ligue, the lowest division of the French regional football league.[7] FF Issy achieved three successive promotions to reach the top division (Honorary Division) of the regional Paris-Île-de-France League [fr] 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 Féminine for the 2009–2010 season [fr]. FF Issy were promoted to Division 1 Féminine for the 2012–13 season.[2][9] They also played in the 2014–15 Division 1 Féminine.[9] In 2018, there were suggestions of the club merging with men's Championnat National team Red Star,[9] though the plans were later abandoned.[10]

FF Issy were winning League A of the 2019–2020 Division 2 Féminine [fr] by 12 points when the league was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed that Issy would be promoted to Division 1 Féminine for the 2020–21 season.[11] In 2020, the team was renamed from FF Issy to Grand Paris Seine Ouest 92 Issy (GPSO 92 Issy).[1][3] The new name reflects the fact the team is based in Hauts-de-Seine, which is French department number 92.[1] Issy were initially relegated from Division 1 Féminine the next season.[12] In July 2021, the FFF reprieved Issy, meaning that they would compete in the 2021–22 Division 1 Féminine. The decision was due to the knock-on effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the French league systems.[13] They finished 11th in the league, and were relegated to Division 2 Féminine for the 2022–2023 season.[14] In July 2022, Issy appointed 23-year old Erwann Bouchard as their new manager. He was the youngest manager in the French football leagues at the time.[15]
