Paide Linnanaiskond was originally established in the late 2000s following the rise of Paide Linnameeskond to the top division, but the team’s activities were later suspended. The women’s team was re-established in 2014 under coach Kalmer Klettenberg, with players from both Paide and Tapa.[1]
After the 2025 season, several teams withdrew from the Naiste Meistriliiga, creating vacancies in the top division. Paide Linnanaiskond, which had finished second in the Naiste Teine liiga, accepted the opportunity to move up and was admitted to the Meistriliiga for the following season, subsequently strengthening its squad with a mix of academy players and experienced additions, including Estonia internationals (such as Lisette Tammik, Kirkeliis Lillemets, Annegret Kala and others[2] .[3]
