1st FC Union Berlin's female team adopts unconventional training strategies
Union Berlin's Women's Team Kicks Off Season with Tough Challenges
- FC Union Berlin's women's team is preparing for an exciting season opener, as they welcome Real Madrid to the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on August 17, 2025, at 15:30.
The season opener for Union Berlin's women's team will take place next Sunday, marking the start of their competitive matches. However, the preparations for the team have been challenging due to a late start to the pre-season, a squad with many new players, and changes on the coaching staff. This has meant that some tactical patterns are not yet fully established.
Despite these challenges, the team has had an intensive six-day summer training camp in Marienfeld, followed by a stopover in Wolfsburg, before returning to Berlin-Köpenick to continue preparations.
In an effort to build confidence against higher-tier opponents, Union Berlin's women's team has opted to challenge themselves with test matches. They have already faced Pogon Stettin, Polish champions two years ago and third in the Polish league last season, and VfL Wolfsburg, seven-time German champions.
The test matches have been designed to be tough, with Union Berlin's women's team facing strong opponents. They won their first test match 3-2 against Pogon Stettin at the start of their summer preparations. On August 10, 2025, they played a friendly against Bundesliga vice-champion VfL Wolfsburg and secured a notable victory, which they viewed as a key step to ready themselves for the league.
The third opponent for Union Berlin's women's team's test matches is yet to be announced.
For their season opener, the Union women were scheduled to play a high-profile friendly against Real Madrid. This will be a great opportunity for the team to test themselves against one of the world's top clubs.
Following the match, there will be a public autograph session, giving fans the chance to meet their favourite players.
In summary, Union Berlin's women's team has faced tough challenges in their preparations for the season, but they are determined to make a strong start. They have already shown their ability to compete against strong opponents in their test matches, and their season opener against Real Madrid promises to be an exciting event.
