The 1st Women's Football Club Frankfurt is a women's football club from Frankfurt am Main with currently around 430 members. The club emerged on August 27, 1998 from the women's soccer department of SG Praunheim , which had participated in all seasons since the women's Bundesliga was founded in 1990. Since the takeover of the license on January 1st, 1999, the club entered independently as 1. FFC Frankfurt . After the merger with Eintracht Frankfurt , the FFC has been acting as their women's department since July 1, 2020.

With seven German championships, nine cup wins and four European cups, 1. FFC Frankfurt is the most successful women's football club in Germany .

history

1971 to 1998: Women's football at SG Praunheim

In 1971, employees of the Deutsche Bundesbank , who discovered their interest in playing soccer, joined SG Praunheim and founded a women's soccer department. The Praunheimers' first opponents were Frankfurt teams such as the Bornheimer FSV Frankfurt and the Niederräder Clubs Union Niederrad and NSG Oberst Schiel .

In 1990, the SGP qualified as a player for the new women's Bundesliga with the later successful coach Monika Staab . In the first season they finished fifth in the southern season of the two-track league.

In the following season , the Praunheimer took sixth place in the south group. In the DFB Cup , for which they were qualified for the first time as a Bundesliga team, they failed in the first round at the association league club SC 07 Bad Neuenahr .

In the 1992/93 season they landed in fourth place in the southern season. In the DFB Cup , the SG made it into the quarter-finals for the first time , which they lost 1-0 at home to eventual cup winners TSV Siegen .

For the 1993/94 season there were some changes in the club. The former captain Monika Staab was new department head, Siegfried Dietrich, the previously successful figure skating - Promoter had worked, was manager of the football women.

As third in their group, the SGP missed the semi-finals of the German championship by just one point. In the DFB Cup they failed again in the round of 16 against the team from victories . At the first DFB indoor cup they took third place.

In the 1994/95 season they again took third place in the southern season. In the cup they failed for the third time in a row at TSV Siegen. As in the previous year, the cup competition for the SGP was already over after the round of 16.

The 1995/96 Bundesliga season was the most successful in the club's history to date. Behind local rivals FSV Frankfurt they finished second in the southern group with just one defeat and thus made it to the finals. In the semifinals you could defeat Grün-Weiß Brauweiler with a 1-0 win and a 0-0 draw. In the final in the home stadium at Brentanobad they were once again defeated by TSV Siegen in front of 3100 spectators. It was 0: 1 in the end. In the cup they also lost 1-0 to FC Rumeln-Kaldenhausen in the round of 16 .

In the Bundesliga season 1996/97 they qualified as South runner-up again for the championship semi-finals. There they failed after a 2-4 defeat in the first leg and a 1-1 draw in the second leg at the eventual champions Brauweiler. They qualified for the single-track Bundesliga without any problems. National player Doris Fitschen was new to the team . In the eighth final of the cup they were defeated by the winners, who had switched from TSV to Sportfreunde , with 1: 2 after extra time . By winning the 1997 DFB Indoor Cup , which was held for the first time in Frankfurt , the club celebrated its first title win. In the final, FSV Frankfurt was defeated 4: 3 in a nine-meter shootout.

The following season should be the most successful in the time as Praunheim women's football department. With the engagement of the talented youth national player Nia Künzer , who came from VfB Gießen, the development of an ambitious team was successfully continued. In the Bundesliga they became runner-up behind FSV Frankfurt. In the DFB-Pokal they reached the quarter-finals for the second time in the club's history, in which they only lost 1-0 to the FSV. In the final of the indoor cup , however, the Bornheimers could clearly and clearly defeated with 5: 1 and defend the title.

1998 to 2000: Foundation of 1. FFC Frankfurt and first successes

The decisive step on the way to the top of German women's football was taken in 1998. With Birgit Prinz , the reigning top scorer from FSV could be attracted to the Brentanobad. In addition, with Katrin Kliehm , who had previously played for Sportfreunde Oberau, another youth national player was signed.

On August 27, 1998, the members Monika Staab, Doris Dietmayr, Annelie Hauptvogel, Vera Heck, Gaby Schmidt, Roman Schmidt and Pia Hess of the Praunheim women's soccer department founded the “1. Women's Football Club Frankfurt ”, or“ 1. FFC Frankfurt ”, and thus became self-employed. Monika Staab took over the chairmanship of the club and, as a trainer, the management of the Bundesliga team. On January 1, 1999, the Bundesliga license from SG Praunheim was taken over and from now on they competed under the new name. With only one defeat and three points ahead of FCR Duisburg , the 1. FFC became German champions in the 1998/99 season . In the final of the DFB Cup , the Duisburg women were defeated 1-0 with a goal from Nia Künzer . The DFB indoor cup was also won by a 5-1 win over Duisburg. The 1. FFC secured the triple in the first year of its existence .

The Bundesliga season 1999/2000 the Frankfurt women finished with 15 points behind FCR Duisburg in second place. You could win the DFB Cup again. With a 2-1 victory you beat victories for the first time in a decisive game.

2000 to 2003: Way to the top of European women's football

In 2000 the 1. FFC signed three experienced national players with Steffi Jones ( SC 07 Bad Neuenahr ) and the winners Louise Hansen and Sandra Minnert . With a ten-point lead over the 1st FFC Turbine Potsdam , the FFC regained the German championship title . For the first time, the club provided the top scorer in the Bundesliga with Birgit Prinz. The DFB Cup was defended by a 2-1 final win over FFC Flaesheim-Hillen . At the DFB indoor cup they took third place.

The following season was the most successful in the history of the 1. FFC Frankfurt. The FFC secured victory in all four competitions played. The Bundesliga season ended undefeated as champions with 14 points ahead of arch-rivals from Potsdam . The DFB-Pokal was won for the fourth time with a 5-0 victory over Hamburger SV . The indoor cup could also be won by beating FC Bayern Munich 1-0 . In addition, the Frankfurt women also won the UEFA Women's Cup , which was held for the first time . In the final in Frankfurt's Waldstadion , the Swedish representative Umeå IK was defeated 2-0 in front of a record crowd of 12,106 spectators. As the fifth football club, the FFC won the “European triple”.

In the 2002/03 season, the FFC only defended its championship title on the last day of the match with a 0-0 win at Turbine Potsdam. In the cup final they defeated FCR 2001 Duisburg with an own goal by Martina Voss in the 89th minute with 1-0. In the semi-finals of the European Cup they were eliminated from last year's finalists and eventual winners from Umeå only on penalties. This season the Frankfurt women had a French national player under contract for the first time, Élodie Woock .

2003 to 2005: “Vice-Triple” and upheaval

The 2003/04 season was a (in the truest sense of the word) painful experience for the FFC. In the final phase of the season, three players with torn cruciate ligaments were eliminated, and coach Monika Staab was sometimes unable to get more than eleven players together. In the Bundesliga they finished second behind Potsdam after losing the last game of the season against their rivals 7-2. They lost the final of the DFB Cup against the Potsdam women 3-0. In the UEFA Cup final they lost Umea with 0: 3 and 0: 5th These three second places were very reminiscent of Bayer 04 Leverkusen's “vice triple” in the 2001/02 season. As a result of the first season without a title win in the club's history, Monika Staab resigned from her coaching position. Her successor was Hans-Jürgen Tritschoks . In addition, regular players like Sandra Minnert and Bianca Rech , who both went to Bad Neuenahr, left the club.

For the 2004/05 season , the team was reinforced with top scorer Kerstin Garefrekes (previously with Heike Rheine ) and young players such as Susanne Hartel (Viktoria Neckarhausen) and Meike Weber (1. FCA Darmstadt). The FFC regained the championship title and set a new Bundesliga record with 63 points . For the seventh time in a row they reached the DFB Cup final , in which, however, they again lost to the Potsdam women . They also lost to Potsdam in the final of the indoor cup .

2005 to 2008: return to the European throne

For the 2005/06 season the FFC presented top-class newcomers with Saskia Bartusiak (came from FSV Frankfurt) and the national players Sarah Günther ( Hamburger SV ) and Sandra Smisek (FSV Frankfurt). The club ended the Bundesliga season in a disappointing third place in the table. In the cup final , Potsdam was unlucky to lose 2-0. If the Brandenburg team had failed at national level, they secured the title in the UEFA Women's Cup with two victories in the final . In Potsdam they triumphed with a terrific 4-0, in Frankfurt they won 3-2 in front of the new record number of 13,200 spectators. In addition, the FFC secured victory in the DFB Indoor Cup .

In the summer of 2006, the FFC strengthened its team with the commitment of the national players Silke Rottenberg (Duisburg) and Karolin Thomas and Petra Wimbersky (both Potsdam). With nine points ahead of Duisburg, the Frankfurt women were superior German champions . With Birgit Prinz, the top scorer was also part of the Frankfurt team. In the DFB Cup final they defeated Duisburg on penalties and set two new records with their sixth cup win and their ninth finals in a row. In the UEFA Cup quarter-finals they failed due to the away goal rule against the Norwegian representative Kolbotn IL . The Frankfurt women also won the DFB Indoor Cup 2007 and achieved the national triple for the third time in the club's history.

In May 2008, 1. FFC Frankfurt defeated the Swedish club Umeå IK in the final of the UEFA Cup , making it the most successful club in Europe. The first leg in Sweden ended 1: 1, the second leg in Frankfurt won the Frankfurt women 3: 2. For the final, 27,640 spectators came to the Commerzbank-Arena, setting a new attendance record in European women's club football.

In addition, after an exciting season finale, the team became German champions with one point ahead of FCR Duisburg and again won the DFB Cup with a 5-1 final win against 1. FC Saarbrücken . Only the title in the indoor cup could not be defended.

2008 to 2013: loss of supremacy

The 2008/09 season was much less successful, in which the absence of numerous long-time players and top performers was clearly noticeable: Louise Hansen, Nia Künzer and Renate Lingor had ended their careers, while Alexandra Krieger, Conny Pohlers and Silke Rottenberg had not been injured for a long time were available. For the second time after the "vice season" 2003/04 the team remained without a title, for the first time it was without any realistic chance of a title. In the Bundesliga , the team had nothing to do with the three-way battle for the championship. She finished fourth, nine points behind Meister Turbine Potsdam, the worst position since 1. FFC Frankfurt was founded. In the UEFA Cup , they failed in the quarter-finals with 1: 3 and 0: 2 against eventual winners FCR Duisburg. In the DFB-Pokal the end came in the second round with a 0-1 defeat at Bayern Munich, so that for the first time since the club was founded the cup final took place without the participation of the Frankfurt women.

In the 2009/10 season neither a final let alone a title could be achieved. The Bundesliga season was not only a bit more conciliatory thanks to the slightly improved placement: The up-and-coming competition from Munich and Wolfsburg was kept at a clear distance, and the Duisburg women were also within striking distance. The gap to the successful defending champions from Turbine Potsdam was still eight points. However, the arch rival could be taught the only season defeat; The "Turbines" gambled away a 1-0 lead and lost 1: 2. Nevertheless, 1. FFC Frankfurt missed qualifying for the European Cup for the second time in a row with third place in the table. In the DFB-Pokal , after sovereign successes in the first rounds, the quarter-finals ended with a 3-0 defeat against Potsdam.

The 2010/11 season, on the other hand, was successful again: In the championship , they finished second with just one point behind Turbine Potsdam and thus qualified for the Champions League . In addition, they won the DFB Cup for the eighth time with a 2-1 win against Turbine Potsdam .

Despite a disappointing Bundesliga season , they reached the final of the Champions League in 2011/12 after successes against LdB FC Malmö and Arsenal LFC . This was lost on May 17, 2012 in the Olympic Stadium in Munich with 0: 2 against defending champion Olympique Lyon . Also in the final of the DFB Cup they lost 2-0 to FC Bayern Munich after the team had prevailed against Wolfsburg , Potsdam and Duisburg .

For the 2012/13 season they hoped to win everything they could in Frankfurt. In addition to the three German national players Babett Peter , Bianca Schmidt and Simone Laudehr , the French Sandrine Brétigny and Jessica Wich were also signed . But the season began for the FFC, despite the luxury squad, just as last season ended. After a narrow win against outsider Jena, they lost 3-1 on the second matchday against the renewed outsider Essen. On September 12, 2012 Sven Kahlert was on leave and Philipp Dahm took over the position of interim coach. After the change of coach, calm slowly returned, but the next change of coach followed in April. Within three days the team lost 3-1 to SC Freiburg and did not come out with a draw in the game against Jena. Thus the coaching position was given to Sascha Glass. In the second round of the DFB Cup , the FFC faced defending champions FC Bayern Munich , but failed to prevail on penalties. After victories against Potsdam and Wolfsburg, Frankfurt was in second place in the table before the last match day, but then lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich. Thus Potsdam was able to achieve second place and Frankfurt fell back to third place.

2013 to 2015: emotional roller coaster

In the cup competition of the 2013/14 season , the club was successful again three years after its last triumph and won the DFB Cup for the 9th time with a 3-0 win over SGS Essen . On the other hand, the outcome of the Bundesliga season a few weeks later was dramatic : Due to a 2-1 defeat at VfL Wolfsburg , the previously undefeated FFC lost the German championship on the last day of the match.

In the following season , only the third place was achieved, in the DFB Cup they were eliminated in the semi-finals. On the other hand, there was the greatest success in this mixed sporting period for the club: After several years of dry spell, the Champions League was won for the fourth time with a 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain on May 14th .

On December 1, 2015, the club and head coach Colin Bell agreed to terminate the contract. Bell then moved as head coach to the Norwegian representative Avaldsnes IL , his vacant position in Frankfurt was taken over by Matt Ross on an interim basis . On February 19, 2016, he was appointed permanent head coach and extended his contract until June 30, 2017.

2017 to 2019: Establishment in the midfield of the 1st women's Bundesliga

On September 29, 2017, Niko Arnautis was introduced as the new head coach. The 1. FFC Frankfurt continued the path taken in recent years and continued to rely more and more on young talents who should lead the club back to success. In the 2017/18 season , the team reached sixth place, in the following season they finished fifth. The team was unable to achieve any notable successes in the DFB Cup either: 1. FFC Frankfurt failed in the quarter-finals for three years in a row.

2019 to 2020: Merger with Eintracht Frankfurt

After FFC manager Siegfried Dietrich had already addressed a possible merger with Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2018 , both clubs began concrete negotiations, the result of which was made public in June 2019: For the 2020/21 season , the 1st FFC will form the women's football department of Eintracht and compete for the SGE in the Bundesliga. With this step, 1. FFC Frankfurt hopes to follow up on past successes. On December 12th, the 126 members present approved the merger at an extraordinary general meeting. Manager Dietrich is to be supported there by another sporting director. On June 16, 2020, the merger agreement was signed by representatives of both clubs.

In the last season under the traditional name of the team ended up at the end with the sixth place again only in midfield. In the DFB-Pokal they had already been eliminated in the round of 16 against Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The last game before the merger took place on June 28, 2020 at the Brentanobad stadium in Frankfurt am Main. On the 22nd matchday of the women's Bundesliga , 1. FFC Frankfurt lost 2-0 to SC Freiburg . Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the game officially took place in front of 0 spectators.

FSV Frankfurt was the local rival of the FFC for many years . The derbies were one of the highlights and the best-attended games of the Bundesliga season every year.

In Praunheim's time, the FSV was still clearly ahead. The FSV collected championship titles and cup victories, for SG Praunheim only the role of number 2 remained in the city .

With the establishment of the 1st FFC, the situation changed. The Bornheimers were now replaced at the top, the FFC was now always ahead. The FSV only managed to defeat the FFC in the derby once.

It was strange that the FFC had to compete in the DFB Cup four times in a row at FSV between 2000 and 2003, with the two teams always meeting in the semifinals in the last three years. The rivalry ended with the dissolution of the FSV women's football division after the 2005/06 season.

The last derby caused another excitement. The FFC defeated the hopeless FSV 17-0 and set a new Bundesliga record.

The FFC's arch rival is Turbine Potsdam .

In the 1997/98 and 1998/99 seasons they were clearly ahead of the turbines, but things got tighter in the following season. The FFC lost both direct duels, but were four points ahead of the Potsdam women runner-up. From the 2000/01 season on, the Brandenburg women were number two in Germany. The gap to the FFC was still very clear, however, at the end of the season the two teams were separated by ten points. The games between the Frankfurt and Potsdam women were fiercely contested, the Potsdam women managed a narrow victory in the second leg in Frankfurt, but at this point (four rounds before the end of the season) the championship was still as good as ten points behind the FFC decided. In the following season Turbine was clearly defeated twice, but the Potsdam women were able to narrowly defend their second place against Duisburg.

In the 2002/03 season, the two clubs moved on the same level for the first time. With a 0-0 win in Potsdam on the last day of the match, the FFC secured the championship title two points ahead. The duel between the two clubs had finally started.

Turbine won the “double” in the 2003/04 season. In a direct duel, the Potsdam women secured the championship with a 2: 7 victory in Frankfurt. The Frankfurt women, who had won the first leg in Potsdam 3-0, felt humiliated by the northeast German competitor, for whom Conny Pohlers scored three times alone. The Brandenburg women, on the other hand, saw a changing of the guard, especially since they were able to defeat the FFC in the cup final. As a result, there were first minor disputes between those responsible for the two clubs.

These then reached their preliminary climax at the end of the 2004/05 season. The FFC had secured the championship title, Turbine was 14 points behind Duisburg in third place. Instead, the Potsdam women won a direct duel in the cup final and won the UEFA Cup. The FFC has now questioned the value of the cup competitions, and the European Cup has even been described as a "niche competition".

In the following 2005/06 season, the FFC won this competition with two wins against the Turbines, including a clear 4-0 in Potsdam. Before that, Turbine had won the championship and the DFB Cup with three wins against the FFC, including a 2: 6 in Frankfurt. The FFC was now number one in Europe, Turbine number one in Germany. At the Bundesliga match in Potsdam there was an incident in which the Potsdam audience whistled the entire first half of the two Frankfurt women Steffi Jones and Birgit Prinz . Turbine captain Ariane Hingst had to use the stadium microphone during the half-time break to ask the audience to stop the two national players whistling. Jones and Prinz had canceled an international match before this top game due to health problems, which some Potsdamers viewed as a distortion of competition. A strong rivalry also developed between the fans of both clubs.

Before the 2006/07 season, Turbine trainer Bernd Schröder caused heated discussions with FFC manager Siggi Dietrich. As a representative of the East, Schröder saw himself being exploited by the financially stronger West, as the FFC had signed the national players Karolin Thomas and Petra Wimbersky from Potsdam. In Schröder's opinion, the Frankfurt women Potsdam had bought the two actors away, Frankfurt pointed out that Potsdam had not taken care of an extension of the contracts in time. The trainer from Potsdam repeatedly referred to the different philosophies of the two clubs and emphasized that, in contrast to the aging Frankfurt team, he was betting on young players.

The 2006/07 season was extremely successful for the FFC, winning the championship and the DFB Cup, while Turbine was eliminated in the second round of the Cup and only finished third in the Bundesliga. For the 2007/08 season, Conny Pohlers, another national player, moved from Potsdam to Frankfurt. Bernd Schröder explained that he could do without the "old" Pohlers.

In the 2012/13 season, the FFC won 2-1 on the fourth matchday in Potsdam. At the score of 1: 1, Stefanie Mirlach and Alexandra Singer from Potsdam suffered severe head injuries in a collision in the 88th minute. After a minute-long interruption, the referee let play for five minutes. During this time, Lira Bajramaj scored the winning goal before falling unlucky shortly afterwards and tearing her cruciate ligament.

Second team

The second team plays in the 2nd Bundesliga .

The team will be run as an U23 team from the 2007/08 season . The aim is to focus more on young players than before.

From 2000 to 2004 the team played in the Regionalliga Süd . The last season of the Regionalliga ended with four points ahead of TSV Crailsheim in first place. However, since an unregistered player had been used four times, eight points were deducted from the team. Thus, the team only took third place in the final bill. For the newly introduced 2nd Bundesliga, however, one had easily qualified.

In the first two seasons of the 2nd Bundesliga, the second team of the FFC finished 6th and 7th . If you were still in danger of relegation at halftime in the premiere season, the young team was able to keep up with the older competitors in the following season. The reason for this was also the considerably weaker relegation team this season.

In the 2006/07 season they took a strong fourth place. If at the end of the first half of the season you were only one point behind second place in the table, you broke down a bit in the second half and fell significantly behind. The team also included Marleen Wissink , who ended her career in the second division.

The club let players of the first team who had been injured for a long time collect match practice in the second team. For example, Louise Hansen and Pia Wunderlich were used in the second agency.

1 One point was deducted for letting a player play without an authorization to play.

Third team

The third team will play in the Association League South Hessen in the 2019/20 season.

In the 2006/07 season she won the Hessen Cup. However , the team was not allowed to take part in the 2007/08 DFB Cup , as the club was already represented by the first team in this competition. For the 2014/15 season they were promoted to the Regionalliga Süd , where 18 of the 22 games were lost and a relegation was missed.

Girls soccer

Three girls' teams belong to the club. The U16 is the reigning Hessen champion and Hessen Cup winner.

There is also a U14 and a U12 team. The two younger teams play against boys ' teams in the Hochtaunuskreis , as they have no strong opponents in the girls' area. The U12 and U14 teams play in the highest league of male E and D youth (district league).

Ronny Boretti, the assistant coach of the Bundesliga team, and Bundesliga player Louise Hansen run the FFC girls' soccer school and look for talent in summer courses.

Special

In Frankfurt there is a tram - railcar designed by the FFC sponsor VGF in the club design.
