Agreement with FC Bergheim from 2025/26

FC Red Bull Salzburg are taking the next step in women's football. From the 2025/26 season, our club will be represented in the Austrian top flight – the ADMIRAL Women's Bundesliga – for the first time.

Third step in third year

Having started in women's football in 2023/24 with the formation of an U16 team as well as an U20 team the following season, we are taking our third step in the third year of the women's football division.

From next season there will be an agreement between FC Bergheim and our Red Bulls, which will see the club perform under the name of FC Red Bull Salzburg Women and be managed by us. The two clubs will continue to co-operate at the new level.

Regional talents

We will continue to focus heavily on developing our many talents, who mostly come from our region. The more women we can inspire to play football, the greater the positive impact on the quality of the players and women's football on the whole. Our young players have developed already so much in a short time that several of them have already played regularly in the Bundesliga team of FC Bergheim this season. We have now set the aim of establishing these talents even better there, which has led us to discussing with our co-operation partner FC Bergheim and deciding now is the time for the next step.

Bernd Winkler, Head of Women's Football

We are pleased that the co-operation with our partner is to be further developed and that FC Red Bull Salzburg will take an even more important role in our partnership. We will take the next steps into the future together.

Bianca Neubauer, Chairwoman of FC Bergheim

As we said we would do when we started, we have quietly and carefully taken one step after another for FC Red Bull Salzburg in women's football and we will take that to a new level in the summer. Our aim has been and remains creating a platform for talented young women to develop their ability and realise their dreams. We want to further strengthen women's football in our region and play a positive role in developing the sport.

Stephan Reiter, CEO
