The footballers in Germany will fight for another title in the future. The Presidium of the German Football Association (DFB) decided to introduce the Women’s Super Cup.
The new competition will be held from the 2024/2025 season. The German champions and the winners of the DFB Cup from the previous season should take part. If the champions were also the DFB Cup winners, the second place in the Bundesliga table would move up.
Venue changes every year
The event mode provides for a neutral venue that changes every year, “to transport the accessibility of women’s football to different regions, to strengthen the loyalty of existing fans and to open up new fans as well as target regions”as it said in a statement.
The Supercup underlines the growing importance of women’s football: “The implementation of the competition will create a significant national platform to further increase the visibility and further professionalize women’s football.” The DFB Women’s Supercup last took place between 1992 and 1997.
