The stage is set for a thrilling DFB-Pokal Frauen final, as FC Bayern München take on VfL Wolfsburg at the RheinEnergieStadion. This clash isn't just another cup final—it's a battle for supremacy in German women's football. Bayern, the reigning Frauen-Bundesliga champions, come into this match with history on their minds. They ended Wolfsburg's decade-long dominance in the DFB-Pokal last season, securing a commanding 4-2 victory over Werder Bremen in the final. Now, they'll look to prove that win was no fluke.
Wolfsburg, however, are a team built on resilience and experience. Known for their relentless pressing and clinical finishing, they'll be eager to reclaim the trophy and remind everyone why they've been the benchmark in German women's football for so long. With both sides boasting world-class talent, this final promises to be a showcase of skill, determination, and tactical brilliance.
Here are the confirmed lineups for Thursday's final:
FC Bayern München: Mahmutovic; Gwinn, Viggosdottir (c), Eriksson, Kett; Amani, Stanway; Dallmann, Tanikawa, Bühl; Harder
VfL Wolfsburg: Johannes; Bjelde, Linder, Kleinherne, Küver, Levels; Lattwein, Minge; Huth (c), Peddemors; Beerensteyn
With stars like Pernille Harder leading Bayern's attack and Ewa Pajor (now at Wolfsburg) absent, all eyes will be on how these lineups gel under the pressure of a cup final. Whether you're backing the defending champions or the former dynasty, one thing is certain—this is a match no football fan should miss.
