Hamburger SV

Hamburger SV Women returned to the Frauen-Bundesliga in 2025 after a 13-year absence, marking a triumphant comeback for one of northern Germany's most prominent football institutions. The women's section was created in 1970 and previously competed in the Frauen-Bundesliga from 2003 to 2012, achieving a best finish of fourth place in 2010-11 and reaching the DFB-Pokal final in 2002. Financial difficulties led to the team's dissolution in 2012, with the reserve team restarting from the Regionalliga. HSV Women rebuilt from the ground up, spending years in the lower divisions before clinching promotion on 11 May 2025 with a 3-0 victory over SC Freiburg II, ending a 13-year wait to return to the top flight. The team plays its home matches at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, with a sold-out match setting a new record for individual club match attendance in German women's football. The Hamburger SV Women roster for 2025-26 includes Svea Stoldt and Melanie Brunnthaler among the key contributors. Backed by the massive fanbase and brand recognition of Hamburger SV, the women's team brings significant following and atmosphere to the Frauen-Bundesliga.
