The history of women's football
A look at the history of women's football shows that these successes are based on decades of fighting and developments. Women's football has a moving story in Germany that goes back to the 1930s. Lotte Specht founded the "1st German women's football club" in 1930 and fought for women playing football, but the path was rocky. Despite social prejudices and emerging resistance to women in sport, women's football slowly prevailed.
after the First World War and especially in post -war Germany, women organized in football clubs. In 1951, for example, Blau-Weiß Oberhausen started the game, despite massive resistance from the press and DFB, which maintained a ban against women's teams until 1970. The development finally led to the first official international matches in 1982, and the enthusiasm for women's football increased steadily.
Today, Rot-Weiß Oberhausen shows that the continuous work and long-term planning in women's football pay off. With the extension of the contract for coach Seeger and successful tournament participation, the association is strengthening its role as a serious force in German women's football.
