Dijon Football Côte d’Or Féminin (DFCO Women) is the women’s section of Dijon FCO, founded in 2006. Based in Dijon, France, the team plays its home matches at Stade des Poussots, occasionally using Stade Gaston-Gérard for larger fixtures.

Women’s football is growing. But especially in Europe, so much still depends on how clubs choose to treat their women’s teams. In some places, there is a genuine one-club mentality: women play at the big main stadium, have their own merchandise, and share facilities equally with the men’s side. Elsewhere, the reality is very different. At Dijon, despite the women’s team being more successful than the men’s side, the players are now facing the possible loss of their professional status.
