Huracanes Fútbol Club is an Equatorial Guinean women's football club based in Bata.[2] It consists of a professional senior team that currently plays in the Equatoguinean Primera División femenina, the women's top tier of Equatorial Guinea's football.

Huracanes clinched the Primera División title during the 2022–23 season. In 2023, they were selected as Equatorial Guinea's representative for the UNIFFAC qualifiers. They secured victory by defeating the DR Congo club TP Mazembe 3–2 in the initial match[3] and achieved an outstanding 5–1 win against AS Epah-Ngamba in the final game of the group stage. Notably, they did not face the Cameroon club AS Awa, as AS Awa had withdrawn from the competition held in Malabo.[4] This successful campaign earned Huracanes a spot in the 2023 CAF Women's Champions League,[5] making them the second Equatoguinean team to qualify for Africa's top tier women's football competition CAF Women's Champions League after Malabo Kings in 2021.[6]
