History

Perspective

The women's football department of SC Fortuna Köln was founded in 2003 and quickly rose through the ranks. In their very first season, the team, averaging just 17 years old, won the district championship with an impressive goal difference of 192:7 and secured promotion to the Verbandsliga. There, they soon fought for promotion to the Regionalliga West, which they achieved in 2008 with a comfortable 16-point lead. However, the team struggled to maintain their status in the Regionalliga. After relegation in the 2009–10 season, the following years were challenging, with the threat of dropping further from the Verbandsliga. The team bounced back in 2011–12, earning promotion again to the Regionalliga West, but were relegated once more to the Mittelrheinliga in 2013. The almost unchanged squad immediately secured an unbeaten direct promotion back to the Regionalliga in the 2013–14 season.[1]

In the subsequent seasons, Fortuna managed to establish themselves in the Regionalliga West, even reaching the league's top three in 2016–17, before relegating to the Mittelrheinliga again in 2019.[2]

The team's biggest successes came in the Middle Rhine Cup, which they have won multiple times, granting them qualification to the DFB-Pokal Frauen. Notable cup victories occurred in 2007 against FC Sankt Augustin, 2008 against VfL Kommern, 2013 against Sportfreunde Uevekoven, 2015 against Pulheimer SC, 2019 against Grün-Weiß Brauweiler,[3] 2020 against Alemannia Aachen,[4] 2022 against Vorwärts Spoho Köln, 2023 against SC West Köln, 2024 against Alemannia Aachen,[5] and 2025 against DJK Südwest Köln.[6]
