The FFC Heike Rheine was the first independent women's football club in Germany.

history

Rhenish women's football had its roots in VfB Rheine , which until 1986 only played at the local level. This changed after Alfred Werner, a full-time editor at Rheiner Anzeiger , became coach and head of the women's football department. In 1988 the team first rose to the Association League and a year later to the Regionalliga West . There, the team immediately took second place behind TSV Siegen and qualified for the newly founded Bundesliga . In 1992 and 1993 VfB took third place in the northern group and reached the semi-finals in the DFB Cup . In 1994 VfB merged with SG Eintracht Rheine to form FC Eintracht Rheine . In the Bundesliga, they finished fourth in the northern group four times in a row and in 1997 they automatically qualified for the single-track Bundesliga. In the same year, the club reached the cup final, where they were defeated by Grün-Weiß Brauweiler 3-1.

On March 10, 1998, the women's soccer department went into business for itself under the current name of FFC Heike Rheine. The name Heike was chosen because the trainer's first name was Heike. But even the new name could not prevent the FFC from being relegated from the Bundesliga. On the last day of the match, Brauweiler sent Rheine to the Regionalliga with a 1-0 win. But after a year Rheine was back in the upper house. Actually, Rheine should have dismounted immediately. Due to the voluntary withdrawal of FFC Flaesheim-Hillen and the withdrawal of the Sportfreunde Siegen license , there was no sporting descent in the 2000/01 season . In 2003, the team finished fourth and won the DFB women's indoor cup . A year later, Rheine was even third and provided the top scorer with Kerstin Garefrekes . At the end of the season Garefrekes left the club for 1. FFC Frankfurt . Other top performers gradually left the club and Rheine fell back to the bottom of the table. In 2007, relegation had to be accepted for the second time. Long-time (player) coach Nicole Werner resigned and was replaced by Ralf Spanier .

A deep fall followed. Only a few players from the relegation team remained, and the squad had to be replenished by players from their own second team. The 2007/08 season was finished bottom of the table, so that the FFC Heike from the 2008/09 season only played in the third-class Regionalliga West, where he escaped further relegation in the 2011/12 season only through the better goal difference. In 2015 the FFC Heike was relegated to the Westphalia League. The association was finally dissolved on September 30, 2016 and struck from the register of associations .
