A look into the history of women's football
A look at the past shows how important and challenging women's football is. The beginnings go back to 1930, when Lotte Specht founded the first German women's football club. Despite a lot of resistance, including from the DFB, which has long opposed women in football, the sport has developed steadily. Over the decades, women fought for their rights and their place on the field - an ongoing process of equality and emancipation.
From the ban by the DFB in the 1950s to the first official international matches in the early 1980s, there were many hurdles to overcome. It wasn't until 1970 that the DFB lifted its ban, which led to an explosion in women's football. Today, tens of thousands of women and girls play nationwide and the sport is enjoying ever-growing popularity.
On September 10, 2025, we will see how VfB Lübeck can progress in this traditional series. Fans and curious people are invited to experience the first home game as an exciting part of the club's history - a sporting celebration that brings joy and community together.
