history

In 1972 the club Blau Weiß Post Recklinghausen founded a women's soccer team. The first sporting successes came in the mid-1980s. Promotion to the district league in 1983 was followed by promotion to the regional league two years later. In 2003 the team, which had meanwhile been promoted to the association league, won the Westphalia Cup and qualified for the DFB Cup . At the same time, the women's football department founded an independent club, the 1. FFC Recklinghausen.

In the first round of the 2003/04 DFB Cup, the team lost 7-1 to the then northern regional division SV Victoria Gersten . From 2007 to 2012 the club cooperated with FC Schalke 04 . After several years in the middle of the league table, the team just missed the championship in 2008. The tied TuS Harpen had a goal difference of twelve goals better. Reinforced with a few former Bundesliga players, the 1. FFC caught up with the championship a year later. With 25 wins and one draw, the team dominated the league at will.

In the Regionalliga West , 1. FFC Recklinghausen fought a three-way battle for the championship with TuS Harpen and Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 2009/10 season . On the last day of the match, 1. FFC secured the championship with an 8-1 win over relegated Fortuna Köln and made it through to the 2. Bundesliga. Before that, Recklinghausen won the Westphalia Cup for the second time with a 4-1 win at Arminia Bielefeld . After the jump to the 2nd Bundesliga, the competition there proved to be superior, and the team had to relegate again after a year. The low point of the season was a 10:10 defeat by Bayern Munich's second team .

In the 2011/12 season they managed to get promoted back to the 2nd Bundesliga. There the team finished tenth and had to relegate immediately after losing relegation against Blau-Weiß Hohen Neuendorf . A year later, the 1. FFC was passed through as bottom of the table in the Westphalia League. Another sporting upheaval took place in the 2014/15 season and the average age of the team was reduced to under 20 years. Relegation was achieved early in the 2014/15 season. The team won the district cup and reached the final in the Westphalia Cup, where the team lost 1-0 to DJK-VfL Billerbeck . A year later, the 2015/16 season, the Recklinghausen women were runner-up in the Westphalia League behind Germania Hauenhorst .

In 2016/17 the women from Veststadt only finished 4th behind the champions SpVg Berghofen . In the 2017/18 season the team was runner-up again and only had to give way to SV Bökendorf with the same points because of the better goal difference . For this, the Recklinghausen women rose as champions in the regional league in 2019.
