Aerion Women's Football Club is a professional women's football club based in the north-east of Singapore. The club was established in 2005 by a group of 5 footballers who wanted to promote women's football in the country.[2] Aerion participates as Still Aerion in the Women's Premier League and as Royal Arion in the Women's National League.

The first Singapore's all-women football club[3] fields teams in the Women's Premier League, Women's National League and has a football academy.[4]

History

Arion Women's Football Club was established by Yeong Sheau Shyan and her peers in 2005. It later became Arion Football Academy (Arion FA) in 2012.[2][5] The name Arion was derived from a character in Greek mythology.[4][6] Arion has adopted Better, Stronger, Braver as its motto.[4][7]

The club started to play in the Women's Premier League (WPL) in 2006.[8] Arion FA started to send their B team to play in Women's National League (WNL) in 2017, finishing 8th out of 9 teams.[9]

Arion's first team was renamed as Still Aerion Women's FC and Royal Arion WFC was formed in 2019. Both Still Aerion and Royal Arion competed in the 2019 Women's National League. Still Aerion finished as third and was promoted back to the Premier League, while Royal Arion finished 9th.[9]

Thailand national footballers Orapin Waenngoen, Sunisa Srangthaisong, Pikul Khueanpet and Waraporn Boonsing signed for Royal Arion in August 2023.[10] Royal Aerion clinched their first WNL title by beating Mattar Sailors in the final on 15 October 2023.[11] Royal Arion became the fifth winner in as many editions of the WNL, following Changi Village SRC (2017), Tampines Changkat CSC (2018), Tanjong Pagar United (2019), and Police Sports Association (2022). Orapin’s stunning 35-goal tally secured her the title of the top scorer.[12][13]

In 2026, Football Association of Singapore (FAS) introduced a series of structural and regulatory adjustments designed to strengthen competition and provide clearer pathways for player development to the 2026 season of both Women's Premier League and National League.[14] Apart from the return of promotion and relegation between the Premier and National Leagues, the 2026 season will also see the introduction of WPL B-teams to allow WPL clubs fielding a developmental squad in the WNL. Clubs may include up to five B-team players in their match-day squad.[15] Only Lion City Sailors and Still Aerion will be sending a 'B' team for the 2026 Women's National League.[15] Royal Arion did not participate in the 2026 WNL.
