The Seychelles Women's League is the top flight of women's association football in Seychelles. The competition is run by the Seychelles Football Federation.

History

[edit]

The first Seychelles women's championship was contested on 2000.

After years of absence, women’s football has made its comeback in 2020 with Mont Fleuri Rovers winning the first competition hosted in the new sporting era.[1] The competition featured six teams, including three of the country's secondary schools.[1]

The Women's Preseason League kick off on 6 April 2024 with both Mont Fleuri Rovers A and B teams going against Young Kestrels A and B teams respectively.[2] Mont Fleuri Rovers eventually won the tournament, with Young Kestrels B and Marine Victoria City claiming the second and third-placing respectively.[3]

The newly branded Seychelles Women’s League officially launched on 7 September 2024 with six teams competing in the competition.[4] The inaugural season concluded on 3 May 2025 with Mont Flueri Rovers emerging as the Champions. An award ceremony was held on 30 May 2025 to recognise the individual excellence.[5]
