There were two special activities before kick-off. The FCB Women players wore special warm-up shirts with a message of support for Lena Oberdorf after the recurrence of her cruciate ligament injury. As well as that, both teams presented a "WE29" banner together in support of the DFB's bid to host UEFA Women's EURO 2029 (' WE29 - Together WE Rise'), with FCB captain Stanway wearing a WE29 armband during the game.

President Bernd Neuendorf confirmed that the federation will provide about 100 million ($117 million) to accelerate the professionalization of the Women's Bundesliga. Neuendorf told the German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau, that the funding marks a decisive moment for the women's game, both financially and structurally. "The Women's Bundesliga must be professionalized urgently," he said. "It is the DFB's largest investment since the construction of the Campus."
