The club formerly known as FFC Frankfurt has a rich DFB-Pokal Frauen pedigree but they’ll need to see off current cup queens Wolfsburg in the final if they’re to rediscover their glory days, writes Martin Whiteley.
With seven victories across 10 years, FFC Frankfurt were the team to beat in the DFB-Pokal Frauen in the early 2000s.
Now under the Eintracht Frankfurt name, the club has made it back to this season’s cup final after coming from behind to record a 2-1 home win against Freiburg at the weekend.
FFC Frankfurt was formed on 1 January 1999, after the women’s department left SG Praunheim. As the first round of that season’s cup competition had already taken place the previous August, the new name for the club was not used until their second-round match. That contest was staged in February when they welcomed TuS Niederkirchen. The change of circumstances provided no real hindrance to FFC as they advanced to the next round after a 3-0 success.

Did Bayern Munich win in the Bundesliga this weekend?
They did, and quite comfortably. They traveled to Werder Bremen, where they clinched the Bundesliga title last season, and it was another happy return for Hansi Flick s league leaders. Leon Goretzka, Serge Gnabry and, of course, Robert Lewandowski scored the goals in a 3-1 win. While Gnabry is showing signs that he is returning to his best at the stage of the season when it really matters, Bayern s star performer was Thomas Müller. He assisted Bayern s first two goals, the second of which was a classy control and pass for Gnabry. After their post-Qatar wobble, the champions appear to be back on track.
