Explore the journey of German women's football, from facing a ban to achieving recognition, and preview the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 in Switzerland.
The documentary "Mädchen können kein Fußball spielen" ("Girls Can't Play Football") sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of early German women's football. Despite facing sexism and lack of support, pioneering players persevered, paving the way for future generations. The ban by the DFB was eventually lifted in 1970, but challenges remained, including limited playing time and unequal treatment. The 1989 European Championship victory was a significant milestone, helping to shift perceptions and increase visibility. Today, the sport continues to grow, with events like the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 showcasing the talent and passion of women's football on an international stage. The "She can kick it" exhibition will be held until September 7, 2025, at the "f³ - Freiraum für Fotografie" in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
