History
Hannover 96 established its women's football department in the early 2000s, with competitive activity recorded as early as the 2005–06 season in the Bezirksliga.[1]
After years of building a strong foundation, the first team achieved a major breakthrough in 2018, earning promotion to the fourth-tier Oberliga Niedersachsen. That same year, Hannover 96 celebrated a significant triumph by winning the Niedersachsenpokal, defeating VfL Jesteburg 2–0 in the final. Their success earned them a spot in the 2018–19 DFB-Pokal, where they defeated Regionalligist Blau-Weiß Hohen Neuendorf 4–2 in the first round. However, they faced a heavy 0–11 loss against the reigning champions VfL Wolfsburg in the second round.[2]
In the 2018–19 season, Hannover 96 secured the Niedersachsen championship after a convincing 3–0 victory over Blau-Weiß Hollage in the final, which led to their promotion to the Regionalliga Nord. In their debut Regionalliga season, Hannover 96 performed impressively, finishing as runners-up behind SV Henstedt-Ulzburg. Despite their strong showing, both clubs opted not to move up to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga due to financial constraints.[3]
