Record crowd expected: Werder women welcome HSV in the northern derby!
On October 11, 2025, an exciting northern duel between the women of Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV took place in the Weserstadion in Bremen. More than 37,000 spectators created a record crowd, which only slightly missed the previous record of 38,365 for the game between 1. FC Cologne and Eintracht Frankfurt. This was reported by NDR. The number of spectators for women's games is constantly increasing, which is a positive development for women's football.
The game started at 5:16 p.m. and Werder Bremen took the lead early with a goal from Mühlhaus in the 7th minute. This happened with a controversial hand penalty after a handball by Stoldt. Mühlhaus took advantage of his opportunity and scored again from the penalty line in the 54th minute, so that the game ultimately ended 2-0 for Bremen.
Highlights and statistics
There were many exciting scenes throughout the game. Werder goalkeeper El Sherif in particular shone with strong saves, including a decisive shot from Mikolajova in stoppage time. Coach Friederike Kromp's players proved to be a strong team, even though they suffered defeats in the last two games against VfL Wolfsburg and FC Bayern Munich.
Here are some statistics from the game summarized:
| statistics | Details |
|---|---|
| Goals Werder Bremen | 2 (Mühlhaus, 7th and 54th minutes) |
| Viewership | 37,000 |

Development of teams
Coach Kromp shows respect for the developments of HSV, which only found its way back into the Bundesliga this summer. The Hamburg team has already suffered two defeats this season, but can look back on some good performances. New coach Liése Brancão and the 9 external additions, including the talented Sophie Hillebrand, are intended to bring a breath of fresh air into the team.
What remains are the exciting prospects for the upcoming games, while Werder Bremen wants to continue to play in the upper part of the table in order to assert themselves as an established Bundesliga team.
The positive audience development in women's football shows that there is growing interest in these sports. This not only creates a good atmosphere in the stadium, but could also lay the foundation for future success stories in German women's football, as shown in the attendance records at Fussballdaten.
In summary, the northern derby was a real success – both on and off the pitch. The fans can already look forward to the next exciting encounters!
