Arion Women's Football Club is an amateur soccer club based in the north-east of Singapore which participates in the Women's Premier League. The club was established in 2005 by a group of 5 zealous footballers who wanted to develop their skills and to promote women's football in Singapore.[1]

The club fields teams in the Women's Premier League, Women's Challenge Cup, Women's National League and Women's Youth League for the women's and girl's competitions.

History

The name Arion was derived from a character in Greek mythology. Arion was Hercules' war stallion. He served the hero bravely and even saved him from death. He was later mastered by Adrastus, who, thanks to Arion was the only one to survive the war called the Seven Against Thebes.[2]

Arion has adopted 'Better, Stronger, Braver' as its motto, based on the Greek areion (ἀρείων).[3]
