Bremen in football fever: girls teams grow rapidly!

Bremen, Deutschland - The enthusiasm for women's football grows, and this is not only shown in big tournaments such as the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 in Switzerland, but also very locally in Bremen. This Saturday, July 6, 2025, the German National team will meet the Netherlands in the Weser Stadium. While the professionals shine on the pitch, the internationals are involved in parallel by visiting girls' football ages in Bremen-Walle. Buten uninnen reports about these initiatives that help to arouse interest in sport among young girls.

The numbers speak a clear language: in the DFB you have an impressive increase in female members. The number has increased to around 119,000 girls up to 16 years compared to last season - this corresponds to an increase of 7 percent. In addition, the number of girls' teams has increased to 6,042 teams, which corresponds to an increase of 10 percent. This positive development is also confirmed by the Bremen Football Association, which reports that the number of registered girls' teams from 26 has now risen to 44.

Oliver Baumgart from the Bremen Football Association was pleased with the positive increase, especially among the E and D juniors. However, there are also challenges: Ulrike Geithe, the Vice President of the Association, names the lack of well -trained trainers as a main problem. At the same time, she criticizes the missing offers for girls in many clubs, which points out that there is still potential in the development of women's football.

It is remarkable that women's football in Germany has been under a shadow for a long time. He was even banned until 1955, and even after the ban was lifted in 1970, it still took twelve years for the first German national women's team to play an international match. Today, however, the situation is very different: over 75 % of women surveyed in Germany show great interest in football. The German women's football team, which already shines as a double world champion and eight -time European champion, goes with high expectations in the upcoming European Championship.

international context

The German players are already highly positioned in the world rankings and are in third place. Germany plays an important role with titles and medals in the history of women's football. The success also includes four Olympic medals and an impressive series of six consecutive European Championships between 1995 and 2013. The excellent performance of the players are supported by clubs such as VfL Wolfsburg and FC Bayern Munich, which dominate in the Bundesliga.

In general, women's football in Germany is on the right track. With around 100,000 active women and 107,000 girls up to 16 years, the numbers are promising. And with the constant increase in teams and a grown community, the signs are on growth. Statista has extensively documented the developments in women's football .
