Montrose Women's Football Club are a Scottish women's football club based in the town of Montrose, Angus. They are Scottish Women's Football members and currently play in the Scottish Women's Premier League 1 in the top tier of women's football in Scotland.[2]
The club was established by the Montrose Community Trust, the charitable arm of Montrose FC, in 2016. The team is still a member of the Montrose Community Trust, along with Montrose Youth FC, Montrose Amateur FC, Montrose Walking FC. They began playing competitive football a year later and first played in the SWFL Second Division (East).[3] They finished their debut season in seventh place.[4]
Montrose then moved in the 2018 season to the Second Division (North). Montrose were crowned champions and promoted to First Division (North) on the final match day with a 1-2 away to runners-up Stonehaven.[5]
In the 2019 season, their first season in the Scottish third tier, Montrose placed seventh.[6] The following two seasons (2020 and 2020–21) were both abandoned due to the coronavirus pandemic.[7] [8] After the withdrawal of Forfar Farmington from the SWPL at the end of the 2020–21 season, Montrose became the highest-ranked Angus team in the Scottish national leagues.[9]
Montrose won the 2021–22 Scottish Women's Football Championship North with an incredible unbeaten season, securing promotion to SWPL 2 with a 4-1 victory over promotion rivals East Fife.[10] The club also reached the inaugural SWF Championship Cup final that season, losing 1-0 to league rivals Dryburgh Athletic at Falkirk Stadium.[11]
In the 2022-23 SWPL 2, Montrose had a very strong debut season in Scotland's second tier, losing only three times. The club were finally crowned league champions after a 6-1 win over East Fife on 30 April 2023. As champions, Montrose also sealed back-to-back promotion to the Scottish Women's Premier League, the top tier of women's football in Scotland, for the first time in the club's history.
