There’s no game for VfL Women this week as the team get to enjoy a free weekend. From the start of May, the final stage of the 2023/24 season begins for the Green-and-Whites. Here’s an overview of the final fixtures with key info on each clash:
Home league game against Köln
On Friday 3 May, the She-Wolves entertain 1. FC Köln at the AOK Stadion on Matchday 20 of the Google Pixel Women’s Bundesliga. While VfL are all but guaranteed second place in the table thanks to a nine-point lead over Frankfurt, Köln picked up vital points in their battle for survival with a 2-0 win against Freiburg last time out. Daniel Weber’s side are not safe yet, though. The match is also important for the She-Wolves: firstly to avoid giving the title to FC Bayern Munich on Friday before they’ve played, and secondly as a final test before the cup final against Bayern.
Cup final against Munich
The highlight of the season will undoubtedly be the DFB Cup final on Thursday 9 May, with VfL Women doing battle with Bayern at the Rhein-Energie-Stadion in Cologne from 16:00 CEST. “The attention has clearly turned towards the cup final, we want to prepare as best we can,” said Viven Endemann. “Every final feels different emotionally, and it’s felt like every final in recent years has been close,” added Alexandra Popp. Last year’s showpiece was a sellout with 44,808 spectators, and this year it will be no different.
