History is set to be made in the Bundesliga this weekend as Marie-Louise Eta prepares to become the first woman to take charge of a men's top-flight match in Germany. The 34-year-old steps into the dugout for her debut as Union Berlin welcome a VfL Wolfsburg side desperate for points to steer clear of the relegation zone.
Eta has immediately put her stamp on the team, making four changes to the lineup from the side that fell to bottom-placed Heidenheim under previous coach Steffan Baumgart. For the visitors, Dženan Pejčinović earns a start after making an impact off the bench with a goal in their last outing against Eintracht Frankfurt.
The stage is set at the iconic Alten Försterei. Here are the confirmed starting XIs for this landmark fixture.
