The 2006–07 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 20th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the National Division of the FA Women's Premier League, winning the title for a 4th consecutive season, winning every single match.[1][2] In May, the team played their first ever game at Emirates Stadium, defeating Everton 3-2.[3] They completed a domestic treble by also winning the Premier League Cup and the FA Women's Cup, defeating Leeds United and Charlton Athletic in the finals respectively.[4][5] That treble became a quadruple, when they won the UEFA Women's Cup, defeating Umea over two legs, Alex Scott's last-gasp long range effort in Sweden proving to be the difference between the two sides.
This was Arsenal Ladies' first ever European Trophy, the first for the club as whole since the 1994 European Cup Winner's Cup, and they remain the sole English club to win a Women's European Trophy. Combined with the FA Women's Community Shield and The London County Cup, Arsenal won a clean sweep of six titles, a feat that has never been repeated in the English game.[6][7]
