Hércules CF Femenino, a.k.a. Sporting Plaza de Argel is a Spanish football club from Alicante currently playing in Segunda División's Group 4.[1] Founded in 1995, it was the first organized women's football team in the city.

In 1997 Sporting Plaza de Argel reached the second national category for the first time, consolidating itself in the top part of the table throughout the following decade, but without attaining promotion the Superliga to date. Back then they used a yellow shirt, blue shorts kit which is nowadays their second uniform.

In 2007 the club signed a collaboration with Hércules. While remaining an independent club Sporting Plaza de Argel has used Hércules' name, kit and crest since. When RFEF reformed and expanded the Superliga for the 2009-10 season it was rumored SPA/Hércules might be promoted[2] but the club finally remained in Primera Nacional, as it was called then the current Segunda División.
