Fenix FC is a Spanish Regional League fifth-tier football team consisting entirely of trans men.[1] The team was founded by Hugo Martinez (es) after being forced out of the women's league once he began hormone therapy[2] and played friendly matches against other regional teams during the 2024 pre-season.[3] The team played their first official match against Palleja CF B on September 21, 2024 and lost 19-0.[1][4] The players are working on getting back in shape after having to leave the teams they played in before their transition.
