"In German football, 1. FC Nürnberg can look back on an eventful history steeped in tradition - and that no longer goes just for the men's team. In recent years, 1. FCN Women have worked their way up to the Bundesliga with remarkable speed and professionalism. On Tuesday evening (18:00 CET), FC Bayern Women travel to Nuremberg to take on the side who are back in the German top flight after regaining Bundesliga status. fcbayern.com takes a look at the history, development and arguably the most dangerous player in the club's ranks ahead of this all-Bavarian clash."
"Nürnberg women's football is a story of perseverance, passion and constant change. Their roots go back to 1988, when they were founded as a division of 1. FC Nürnberg. Independence came in 1995, followed by the first promotion to the Bundesliga in 1999 in a short but defining look upwards before being relegated again. Years of rebuilding and perseverance led to a leap up to the Women's Bundesliga 2 in 2020/21 and a strong sixth place finish. In 2022/23, FCN set a club attendance record in the DFB Cup round of 16 against Wolfsburg in front of 17,302 spectators, an evening that boosted the profile of women's football in the city."
"24 years later, in 2023, the club was promoted to the Bundesliga for the second time, accompanied by a merger with the men's club and a move to the Max Morlock Stadium. They went straight back down again and came back up at the first attempt - an up and down that perfectly reflects the spirit of the club: fall down, get back up, never lose faith."
1. FC Nürnberg women's team originated in 1988 as a division of 1. FC Nürnberg and gained independence in 1995. The team first reached the Bundesliga in 1999 but experienced an immediate relegation and entered a long rebuilding phase. Progress culminated in promotion to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga in 2020/21 with a strong sixth-place finish. A club attendance record of 17,302 against Wolfsburg in 2022/23 raised the local profile of women's football. In 2023 the club merged with the men's side, moved to the Max Morlock Stadium, and achieved promotion and immediate return to the top flight, demonstrating resilience and rapid progress. A strong 2024/25 campaign secured promotion early after a midseason run under coach Thomas Oostendorp.
