Schweinfurt U13 juniors fight for victory against Veitshöchheim!

On October 26, 2025, the U13 juniors of 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 met in Veitshöchheim to compete against the local team. Although the Schweinfurt team swapped home advantage at short notice, they remained unimpressed and narrowly won the game 1-0. The decisive goalscorer was Emma Counter, who came on as a substitute and thus made her contribution to the victory. SW1.News reports that strengthening Schweinfurt's defensive performance was a key to their success.

Before the game, Veitshöchheim had an impressive run of three wins and one draw in the league. But the Schweinfurt women were determined to show their defensive strength and “leave the score.” They dominated the action in the first half and had several chances, including a promising try from Anne Morley in the second half.

A jump to the table

The victory catapulted the Schweinfurt team into second place in the league, where they now also have 10 points - but with one game less than Veitshöchheim. Given this constellation, 1. FC Schweinfurt 05's U13 team is in an excellent position to continue fighting for the top spot in the coming games.

The current results and the team's form are good news for the club management and the fans. You can see that the intensive preparation and the focus on strong defensive work are paying off. The club shows how important it is to promote young talents and give them the opportunity to survive in a competitive environment.

Promotion of girls' football

The success that the U13 juniors are achieving in the currently very well-populated league level reflects the extensive efforts that are being made to promote girls' football. Initiatives like that of Union Berlin set standards in the sporting training of women and girls in football. There, special emphasis is placed on taking the individual needs of the players into account and the training offers are specifically geared towards age-appropriateness and performance balance.

Cooperations with schools and medical support from specialist staff are also central components of the training. These approaches are crucial for the development of young talent and help to expand the range of sports available and get more girls interested in football.

However, there is still a lot to be done. The DFB strategy FF27 aims to further strengthen the structures for women in football. Among other things, the number of active players is to be increased by 25 percent and the media presence of women's football is to be doubled. These measures will optimize the promotion of girls' football at all levels and at the same time create more visibility for the successes and challenges of female football.

With yesterday's victory behind them and the clear focus on further progress, the young Schweinfurt women have an exciting future ahead of them. The journey towards better results and wider recognition of women's football is well underway.
