Forfar Farmington (SWPL)
The club's senior side (listed as Forfar Farmington), played in the Scottish Women's Premier League having been promoted from the Scottish Women's First Division in the summer of 2005. With the exception of Glasgow City, Forfar Farmington have secured the most successful league finishes in recent years for a Women's team operating fully independent of a provincial men's football club.
Due to problems with player recruitment, Farmington struggled to build a competitive squad for the 2021–22 season. After losing their first match of the season 10–0 against Dundee United in the League Cup, the club chose to withdraw from the SWPL before the start of the new season and concentrate on youth and community schemes.[1][2]
