ASJ Soyaux Charente (Association Sportive Jeunesse de Soyaux Charente), commonly known as Soyaux, is a women's football club founded in 1968 and based in Soyaux, France. The club had played in France's top division except for spans of relegation to Division 2 Féminine in the 2010–11 and 2012–13 seasons, winning promotion back to the top flight each time. It also successfully appealed attempts by DNCG to relegate the club due to failed administrative reviews of its finances in both 2021 and 2022.
