Iron Ladies: Union Berlin celebrates Bundesliga promotion with a record backdrop!

Berlin, Deutschland - The women's team of the 1. FC Union Berlin recently celebrated the promotion to the 1st Bundesliga and completed the season with impressive achievements in cup games and a championship. Stefanie Fiebrig, Podcasterin of the "Textile Office" podcast, comments on the consistently successful course of the season and the high audience interest, which attracted an average of 7,190 fans at home games. This represents the fourth best value in Europe and indicates the increasing popularity of women's football, which has grown steadily in recent years.

A highlight of the season was the last matchday on which fans were present against Gütersloh 20,132 fans in the stadium - a new record for the women's team. The spectator hype is feverish to several factors: identification with the association, the sporting success, good reporting and the agricultural players. Nevertheless, there is a certain uncertainty about the audience cut in the coming season. The reason for this are the fragmented kick -off times in the 1st Bundesliga, which could make it more complicated in the future to keep a stable fan base.

graduation of expectations

In a current interview, feverishly commented on the squad, which has already taken shape for the upcoming Bundesliga season. Among other things, Tanja Pawollek was hired. In addition, feverishly has great confidence in the sporting director Jennifer Zietz and their planning skills. The challenge of the coming season is considered big, but Union is considered to be opportunities. Berlin is also described as an attractive city for young players, which makes the association particularly interesting for talented new obligations.

The constellations of the last games, such as against SC Freiburg II, show that the association works with various strategic adjustments. In this special game, two changes in the starting line -up made a fresh wind. Antonia Halverkamps returned after a yellow lock, while Sarah Abu Sabbah could only be substituted due to an injury. Despite the injury problems that also concerned other players, a scarce 3-2 victory was achieved with which the 1. FC Union Berlin took over the lead.

growth of women's football

The interest in women's football is not only developing in Berlin, but also throughout Europe. An analysis of the sports marketing agency Two Circles shows a sustainable increase in the number of spectators, with an average growth of 182 percent compared to the previous season. The Flyeralar Women's Bundesliga already exceeded the number of spectators of the previous season on the 7th matchday. The immense success of the women's teams in spectacular games has promoted the number of spectators all over Europe, which indicates a surrounding interest.

With the promotion to the 1st Bundesliga, the 1st FC Union Berlin heralded a new era in its history. It remains to be seen how the number of spectators will develop in the coming season, because the basis is laid: a committed club, strong players and a steadily growing fan community. The DFB and other associations are continuously working to promote women's football sustainably and to support the trend.
