Boss reveals: BVB women aiming for Bundesliga promotion in record time | OneFootball

The BVB women's team is set to play in the Bundesliga in a few years. Managing Director Carsten Cramer outlines ambitious plans and grand visions for this goal.

Borussia Dortmund is clearly looking forward: The club plans to lead its women's team to the Bundesliga within a few years. At the shareholders' meeting, Marketing Managing Director Carsten Cramer painted an ambitious picture of the future—both athletically and structurally.

Cramer emphasized that the club wants to significantly strengthen women's football: "We want to further advance the topic of women's football." This is not just about a strategic intention, but about concrete goals. He made it clear: "We have a team that will play in the Bundesliga sooner or later, ideally by 2027, 2028, but please at the very latest by 2029."

The current development shows why optimism is high. The BVB women, who have been promoted four times in a row in recent years, are currently playing in the Regionalliga West and are in second place. For Cramer, this dynamic is an indication that the club can—and wants to—achieve more.

Cramer sets a target: BVB women to be top-tier by 2029

Beyond sporting success, Borussia Dortmund is also working on professionalizing the department. The club is investing in youth development and building its own training facility for the women's team. At the same time, Cramer made it clear that BVB is aiming for a different model than many Bundesliga competitors: "Everyone in the Bundesliga complains that it's a subsidy business. That will not be the case at Borussia Dortmund, because the interest in women's football is great."

Another vision concerns the potential Women's European Championship in 2029. Should Germany be awarded the event, Dortmund could play a special role. Cramer suggested that "the opening match might take place at Signal Iduna Park"—a scenario that would give the women's football project at BVB additional appeal.

For the club from the Ruhr area, this would be another step in a development that, from the BVB leadership's perspective, is just beginning. The managing director's message is clear: Borussia Dortmund is serious—and the rise of the women's team to the Bundesliga is just the beginning.
