Kaya F.C.–Iloilo (women)

Kaya Futbol Club–Iloilo (), or simply Kaya–Iloilo, commonly referred to as Kaya Women's, is a Filipino women's professional football club affiliated with Kaya F.C.–Iloilo.

History

Kaya was the only Philippines Football League (PFL) club that fielded in the 2016–17 inaugural season of the PFF Women's League. However, they withdrew midseason.

In 2019, Kaya officially formed a women's team. The seven-a-side team competed in the inaugural season of the 7's Football League Women's Division, where they finished runners-up.

Kaya completed their first eleven-a-side campaign, as well as their international debut, at the 2022 SingaCup's Women Football Championship in Singapore. They swept the tournament, beating the Lion City Sailors women's team, Phranakorn, and Persib Putri.

Kaya returned to the PFF Women's League for the 2023 season. For that season, there was a knock-out stage. Kaya was able to reach the final where it contended the title against Manila Digger. Kaya emerged as the victor through a single goal, becoming the first ever club team to win the PFF Women's League. The preceding editions were clinched by collegiate sides, De La Salle.

Kaya was among the participating teams of the inaugural AFC Women's Champions League in 2024–25. They failed to advance to the knock-out stage drawing against BGC–College of Asian Scholars and Bam Khatoon and conceding a lost to Melbourne City in the group stage.

Crest and colors

Kaya Women's wear the same crest and colors as the men's team. The club's home color is yellow.

The club's colors: yellow, red, green and black, are based on the pan-African colors associated with Rastafari due to the influence of Reggae in the club's founding members' lives. The 31 stars on the crest are a tribute to Kaya Men's co-founder John-Rey "Lupoy" Bela-ong, who was killed in a robbery at age 31.
