U19 narrowly loses, U17 celebrates impressive victory: football duel in Schweinfurt!

The FC 05 youth teams recorded varying degrees of success last weekend. The U17s moved further into the top regions of the table, while the U19s suffered a bitter setback. There were also mixed results in the women's division.

The FC 05 U19s suffered a 3-2 defeat in Cham. The way back to Schwiegfurt was probably difficult after the team fell behind in the 11th minute due to a goalkeeper error. Cham followed up with a header from a corner in the 23rd minute and shocked the guests to make it 2-0. Schweinfurt managed to take control of the game, but there was no penalty whistle before halftime. In the 70th minute, Ferdinand Schuler came back with a goal before Cham increased the score to 3-1 after a counterattack in the 87th minute. Noah Reus then quickly made it 3-2, but there was no longer enough time for a turnaround. Their next game against Wacker Burghausen is on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Positive news from the U17 and U16

A completely different picture was shown by the U17s of FC 05, who deservedly won 4-0 against SpVgg Ansbach. It was already the seventh victorious game in a row and thus a rise to 4th place in the table. Felix Karbitschka opened the scoring in the 21st minute. Robin Weber then followed up with an impressive goal and Noel Mainz added the third goal in the 50th minute before Max Nagel sealed the final score of 4-0 in the 67th minute. On Sunday, Hof will be the next challenger at 2:30 p.m.

The U16 also celebrated a 6-2 win against Eintracht Bamberg. After an own goal, Schweinfurt initially led, but Bamberg came back and equalized the game at 2-2. Finally, the protégés turned the game around and scored four more goals for a clear victory. The next challenge takes the U16 to Aschaffenburg.

Highlights in women's football

There is once again an exciting breakdown of the results for women. The U17 women found their way back to winning ways and triumphed 2-1 over SpVgg Greuther Fürth. The goals were scored by the eye-catching Mona Salzmann. This performance puts the girls in second place in the Bayernliga before they face SC Regensburg on Saturday.

On the other hand, the BOL women suffered a 3-0 defeat against FFC Adelsberg-Karsbach. This means that the women say goodbye to the winter break in a solid third place.

The enthusiasm for women's football cannot be denied. A study shows that over 75% of women surveyed in Germany are very interested in football. In addition, around 100,000 women and around 107,000 girls in Germany are currently active in football, which illustrates the attractiveness and growing popularity of the sport. Women's football has experienced a renaissance in recent years, and it remains exciting to see how future competitions will develop, especially after the success of the UEFA Women's EURO 2025,[[3]](https://de.statista.com/themen/9160/maedchen-und-frauenfussball/).
