Women's football was born in Mali on 1994 by the creation of the Bamako League. This league was held every year until 2014. It was dominated essentially by Super Lionnes d'Hamdallaye and AS Mandé who both won many titles.[1]

On 2016, the Malian Football Federation created the first national women's championship.
