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.
