JVW F.C. is a women's professional soccer club based in Bedfordview, Gauteng. The team competes in the SAFA Women's League, the top tier women's football league in South Africa

The first team competes at the highest level of women's football in South Africa, the SAFA Women's League, after becoming the first team to ever gain promotion from the Sasol League in 2019, whilst the rest of the club competes in the local league, under Eastern Local Football Association. The first team had a memorable and record breaking 2016 season, where they beat Mamelodi Sundowns, Palace Super Falcons and Croesus Ladies for the first time since inception and went on to win the Gauteng Sasol League after defeating TUKS Ladies 6–0 in the Provincial Playoff final. JVW finished runners up to Bloemfontein Celtic in the 2016 Sasol League Playoff Finals.

In 2019 the first team recorded their best season to date, where they won the 2019 Gauteng Sasol League and went on to be crowned Champions at the 2019 Sasol League Playoff Finals, securing promotion into the South African Football Association Women's National League (SAFA Women's League) which was launched in 2019, becoming the first team to ever gain promotion into this top flight league.
