Regional league for B-juniors: a new beginning in women's football!

The North German Football Association (NFV) has taken an important step towards women's football and founded a B-Junior regional league for the new season. This step takes place at the request of many clubs after the German Football Association (DFB) had abolished the federal leagues. Among the participating clubs are well -known clubs such as Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen, FC St. Pauli, Holstein Kiel, SpVG Aurich and Hertha BSC, which together are preparing for a new challenge. According to ndr you can see the regional league as an art u17-bundesliga in fresh Guard.

Women's football coordinator Saskia Breuer from HSV is pleased with news. In its opinion, the league offers a valuable basis for talent promotion. At the same time, Sabine Mammitzsch, chair of the North German women's and girls' committee, emphasizes that this is a new format of competition that could advance the development of women's football. Another aspect is the recommendation of the DFB to have U17 teams competed against boys in the regular game. For many clubs, however, this is not an ideal solution, especially since the physical development of boys and girls differ significantly in puberty.

talent promotion at different levels

Ulrike Ballweg, sporting director of talent promotion at DFB, sees the strategic measures as positive and reports on a DFB Cup competition for U17 girls, which is initially carried out for two years. In Switzerland, many girls play in top football of the boys, an approach that could also gain importance in Germany. Daniel Kraus from VfL Wolfsburg emphasizes the positive development in the boy's U15 national league and sees the opportunities for girls there as better.

In addition, the DFB plans to increase the number of performance and funding centers for girls. There are currently only six such centers, but Ballweg is striving for a youth performance center (NLZ) for girls to become part of the admission requirements for the women's Bundesliga. There is already interest of more than 25 clubs in certification as a NLZ, which represents another sign of the growing commitment in women's football.

A look into the future

The DFB also plans to play mixed play companies between junior teams for the future. But there are also concerns how Malinowski notes from SC Freiburg notes. The federal structures could make it difficult to implement such an idea. Kraus also suggests a "Champions League format" for the best girls' teams to further improve the training of the players.

The first match day is already scheduled for the B-Junior regional league. It is important that everyone involved pays attention to the correct game reports. The DFBNet offers the possibility of self -correction of goal scorers during a specified period, whereby corrections are only possible via the relay manager after this time. Fans should always address all the references to incorrect or missing results to the responsible relay manager in order to protect the integrity of the competition, such as fussball.de reported.

Overall, the signs of change in women's football are like. With this regional league, a new era is heralded, which aims both on the promotion of talents and the creation of fair competitive conditions. The tension increases what this new league will bring for the players, clubs and all women's football in Germany. The efforts to strengthen the structures and to double the media range aim to ensure sustainable and positive development, such as the Strategy FF27 of the DFB.
