In the past, soccer was perceived as a “boys’ sport. Women’s soccer is disregarded as a hobby of a few girls. While male players were cheered by large crowds, female players quietly kicked a ball in a corner of a practice field. This is considered the “norm. No cheers, no right to use the main pitch. That is the reality.
Even top-level women’s soccer teams have limited opportunities to compete internationally. Even in Germany, which is considered a leader in gender equality, women’s soccer is still in its infancy. We want to put an end to this inequality. That is our wish.
