FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin (women)
FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin is a women's association football club from Berlin, Germany. It is part of the FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin club. HistoryThe women's football team of FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin began its rise after merging with LFC Berlin, which allowed them to take a spot in the 2. Bundesliga Nord for the 2013–14 season. After a difficult year, they were relegated back to the Regionalliga Nordost, where they have competed steadily since the 2014–15 season. In 2018, the team celebrated a major achievement by winning the Berlin Cup with a 4–1 victory over Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin. Over the next few seasons, Viktoria consistently challenged for top honors, finishing second behind 1. FC Union Berlin in 2019 and RB Leipzig in 2020. Although the 2020–21 season was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Viktoria was selected to play in promotion playoffs for the 2. Bundesliga but ultimately lost to SV Henstedt-Ulzburg.[1] Viktoria continued to build momentum and won the Regionalliga Nordost title in 2023 but missed promotion after falling to Hamburger SV in the playoff.[2] Nevertheless, they secured another Berlin Cup win and qualified for the DFB-Pokal, where they made history by reaching the Round of 16 for the first time.[3] In mid-2022, the women's section took a major step by professionalizing through the formation of a GmbH. 75.1% of this new company was acquired by a group of investors, including entrepreneur Verena Pausder, former German international Ariane Hingst, business leaders Tanja Wielgoß, Felicia Mutterer, Lisa Währer (OneFootball), and Katharina Kurz (BRŁO Craft Beer). An additional 23.9% stake was held by investors such as former swimmer Franziska van Almsick and comedian Carolin Kebekus, while 1% remained under the ownership of FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin.[4][5][6] In May 2025, Viktoria clinched promotion to the 2. Bundesliga by finishing top of the Regionalliga Nordost.[7] SquadNote: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply.
