She-wolves triumph: DFB in the European Championship quarter-finals after a strong victory!
On July 9, 2025, fans of women's football can rejoice: the DFB Wolves have reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Women's Euro. In the exciting duel against Denmark, they won 2-1 and proved once again that they can play at the top in major tournaments. Three VfL Wolfsburg players were in action in this important game: captain Janina Minge, who was on the pitch throughout, Sarai Linder, who also played the full game time, and Cora Zicai, who came on as a substitute in stoppage time. The next test is already waiting: on July 12th at 9 p.m. the DFB women will meet the Swedish national team.
The UEFA Women’s Championship has a long and varied history. It all started in West Berlin in 1957, when the first women's football championships were organized by the International Ladies Football Association. Over the years, the event has gone through enormous stages of development and is now a fixture in international women's football. Germany has demonstrated its dominance in the competition with eight tournament wins, followed by Norway and the Netherlands, who have also enjoyed success in recent years. Wikipedia reports that the next Euro 2024 will take place in Switzerland, which many fans are already looking forward to.
Promising future
The future of German women's football looks promising, especially under the new national coach Christian Wück. He was recently introduced in a press conference and commented on his goals and approach to his new role. Wück firmly believes in the potential of the players. After the Olympic bronze medal, he sees many opportunities to further develop the team. “I am pleased about the trust and see it as a great honor,” he said. The coach plans to use the time until the 2024 European Championships to develop the talents in the squad and give them playing time at the highest level. [DFB].

The former Bundesliga player, who played for seven different clubs and scored goals for each, is being duly recognized by the fan base.
