Borussia Dortmund is a German women's association football team based in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The club achieved back-to-back promotions, going unbeaten in their first three seasons, ultimately reaching the Regionalliga and winning the Kreispokal four times in a row.[1]
Borussia Dortmund's women's football department was announced in September 2020.[2] The first team debuted in the 2021–22 season of Kreisliga (7th division) under coach Thomas Sulewski, with former professional players such as Christian Timm and Annike Krahn as advisors.[3] On 8 August 2021, Stadion Rote Erde hosted the first match of the women's team, in which they won 3–1 against TSV 1860 Munich.[4] In 2023–24, they achieved promotion to the fourth-tier Westfalenliga.[5]
On 27 April 2025, a record attendance of 10,000 spectators witnessed the women's team victory 2–1 against their rivals FC Schalke 04 in the Stadion Rote Erde.[6] A month later, on 11 May, they secured promotion to the Regionalliga (3rd division) by finishing in first place after a dominant 7–0 victory over SV Fortuna Freudenberg.[7]
On 1 June 2025, Borussia Dortmund defeated FC Schalke 2–0 in the Westfalenpokal final in front of 10,000 spectators in the Stadion Rote Erde. This qualified Borussia Dortmund for the first time to the playoffs of the 2025–26 DFB-Pokal Frauen.[8] In their first DFB-Pokal participation, they secured a 3–1 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach in the playoffs.[9] However, they were eliminated in the next round, following a 2–0 defeat to reigning champions Bayern Munich.[10]
