Allein die wunderbaren TV-Einschaltquoten dokumentieren, mit welchem Interesse das Thema verfolgt wurde. All dies spiegelt eine sensationelle Rückmeldung für unseren Sport wider, aus der jeder, der sich in der Frauen-Bundesliga engagiert, neue Motivation für die Zukunft ziehen kann. Denn mit dem Start der Frauen-Bundesliga in die Saison 2011/2012 bietet sich die nächste Möglichkeit, den Frauenfußball von seiner schönsten Seite zu präsentieren. Schließlich steht diese Spielklasse für hochwertigen und attraktiven Sport. Auch wenn es der DFB- Auswahl nicht gelungen ist, den Traum vom dritten WM-Titelgewinn in Folge zu ver - wirklichen, bleibt die Bundesliga die Liga der Weltmeisterinnen. Nicht nur weil weiterhin viele Spielerinnen aktiv sind, die zu den WM-Triumphen 2003 und 2007 beigetragen haben, sondern auch weil in Saki Kamagui, Yuki Nagasato und Kozue Ando mittlerweile drei japanische Weltmeisterinnen ihre fußballerische Heimat in Deutschland gefun - den haben. Ihre Wechsel zu den Klubs der Frauen-Bundesliga sprechen für das Ansehen und die Leistungsstärke unserer Vereine. Das wird natürlich insbesondere durch die Vergleiche auf internationaler Ebene dokumentiert. Die Erfolge der deutschen Vertreter in der UEFA Women’s Champions League sind ein starkes Argument. In den zehn Jahren seit Bestehen des Wettbewerbs standen deutsche Klubs acht Mal im Endspiel und konnten sechs Mal den Titel gewinnen.

  • Victory Streak Unbroken Hannover96 Vs Werder 1:5
    Victory Streak Unbroken Hannover96 vs Werder 1:5 SV Werder Bremen have driven its winning streak on smooth course when head coach Thomas Schaaf and his team bulldozed the 96ers with a 1:5 landslide victory on the 12th match day of the Bundesliga. Already in the 1st half, a pair of goals crafted by Nelson Valdez and Ivan Klasnic's initial output, had laid the foundation stones of triumph for the visiting side. During second half, Hannover pushed to slash Bremen’s edge through a home side goal swung by Jiri Stajner 1:3. But retaliatory compliments, Klasnic's second conversion, and Fabian Ernst's first goal this season, wrapped-up Werder's victory away from home. Traveling to Hannover without star striker Ailton, Werder marched on the pitch charging the 96ers early on to contain the home side from mounting any game strategy. Midfield spotlighted Bremen threatening Hannover straightaway, surrounding home side with pockets of pressure where escape proved hopeless. Werder’s attempts at direct passing game swelled chances of rushing down the field for early scoring opportunities. This tactic of the Green-White finally hatched a goal after eight minutes when Johan Micoud kicked a corner that was forwarded through captain Frank Baumann’s head, extending goalwards to Nelson Valdez who speared to pluck Bremen’s early lead. Jolted by its visitor's alarming wake-up goal, Hannover bolted upright with more composure and marshaled for the impending round of shooting fireworks that was to enthrall the crowd gathered at the AWD Arena. The 12th minute showed 96er striker Thomas Brdaric launching a header barely missing the goal.
