New football highlight! Women's and men's finals at the same location!

On May 28th it was “football among friends” again in the Steinfurt district when the finals in the women’s and men’s cups took place. Ali Pish Been, the new chairman of the Steinfurt football district, not only experienced a busy schedule that day, but also a sporting atmosphere that was characterized by passion and community. First he attended the women's cup final in Ochtrup and then rushed to the men's final in Altenrheine. The final precision landing that day was a great success that raised anticipation for the coming season.

An innovation is coming: from next season, the women's and men's finals will take place at the same location and on the same day. The aim is to create a joint, grand final event that should inspire both fans and players. This decision was seen as a step in the right direction to further promote and bring women's football into the spotlight. Women's football in Germany has developed from a ridiculed fringe sport to a serious part of sporting life, as a look at history shows.

The development of women's football in Germany

Women played football as early as the beginning of the 20th century, but this sport was subject to social prejudices for a long time. The German Football Association (DFB) banned women's football in 1926 and continued to do so until 1970, when the ban was finally lifted. Since then, the women's Bundesliga and with it interest in women's football have developed significantly. In the 2025 season, the Bundesliga will be expanded to 14 teams and promises to attract even more spectators.

One of the greatest success stories is the heyday between 2003 and 2015, in which the national team won several titles. This includes the world championship title in 2003 and the impressive successes at the European Championships. However, despite the ongoing recovery, the contrast between men's and women's football in terms of media attention and salaries remains. But through events like the cup finals in the Steinfurt district, women's football is continually becoming more visible.

A look at the current season

The new cup season has already begun for the athletes in the Steinfurt district and promises exciting encounters. Those interested should be prepared to check the match reports and results regularly.
