Bundesliga Third Place Finish 2019

Lore & Background

The club has its origin as SG Praunheim, with Praunheim establishing its women's football department in 1973. On 1 January 1999, the women's department left Praunheim to form 1. FFC Frankfurt. The club had success immediately, winning the cup and the championship in their first season. In 2019, the club announced a proposed merger with the men's football club Eintracht Frankfurt. The merger was confirmed in June 2020 and, starting from 1 July 2020, the club would now compete as the women's football department of Eintracht Frankfurt.

In Their Own Story

The roar at the Deutsche Bank Park is deafening as the final whistle blows against Augsburg. It isn't just another three points; it is the confirmation that the dream has become reality. Players collapse to their knees, tears mixing with the rain on the pitch, while fans in the Nordkurve sing until their voices break. For a moment, the weight of twenty years of Champions League absence lifts, replaced by the electric certainty that Eintracht Frankfurt belongs back among Europe's best.
