Girls between the ages of six and 16 can take part in free soccer training. Since it was founded in 2007, there have been 21 locations nationwide where almost 10,000 girls trained last year.
In the gaming stronghold of Munich there are 15 locations where 8,670 girls take part. There are no toilets for girls or changing rooms. The opinion that football is only for men is still widespread even in 2024, says the association's chairman Willi Wermelt. The operation for the Munich locations alone costs 240,000 euros annually.
