Pioneers in Indian Women’s Football:
First Club in India to Achieve a Hat-Trick of IWL Titles
Gokulam Kerala FC Women made history by becoming the first club in India to win three Indian Women’s League (IWL) titles in a row—a remarkable feat that showcases the team’s consistency, resilience, and dominance in Indian women’s football. GKFC clinched the prestigious national title in the 2018–19, 2020–21, and 2021–22 seasons.
Unfortunately, the 2019–20 IWL season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which paused what could have been a consecutive run of titles. Despite this interruption, GKFC Women returned stronger, continuing their winning form and reaffirming their status as the benchmark for excellence in the domestic circuit. This hat-trick of titles reflects not only the club’s sporting strength but also its commitment to the development of women’s football in India.
Trailblazers on the International Stage:
First Indian Club to Represent the Country in the AFC Women’s Club Championship

This groundbreaking moment not only elevated the club to continental recognition but also served as a proud milestone for Indian women’s football as a whole.
By competing beyond Indian shores, GKFC Women paved the way for other clubs and players to dream bigger. Their participation in this elite tournament brought international exposure to Indian players, helped raise competitive standards, and placed India on the map of Asian women’s club football. GKFC’s journey reflects the vision and ambition of a club committed to pushing boundaries and creating new benchmarks in women’s sport.
