Standard also has 15 championships in the Belgian Women's First Division, which was the country's top level before the creation of the BeNe League and now occupies the second level of Belgium's women's football pyramid. In addition, Standard was the top-placing Belgian team in all three seasons of the BeNe League, giving them three more national championships.
