Borussia Dortmund are the largest European men’s club without a women’s football team. After pressure from fans on the terraces and Germany’s captain expressing her interest, the club have moved toward change.
It was easy to miss unless you’re a Borussia Dortmund member, but the club took a significant step toward the formation of a women’s team last week with the release of a comprehensive survey on the issue.
After Real Madrid bought the license for a lower league women’s side in Spain last year, Dortmund became, in their own words, “the only top 17 European club not to have a women’s side.” (DW)
