BVB Women host 1. FFC Recklinghausen for a Westphalia Cup match

BVB Women face 1. FFC Recklinghausen at Strobelallee this Wednesday in the first round of the Westphalia Cup. Both teams compete in the Regionalliga West, where BVB remains undefeated and scoreless through three matches. Their opponent currently holds first place in the league table following three consecutive victories. BVB head coach Markus Högner expects a challenge against a reinforced 1. FFC Recklinghausen squad, specifically noting the performance of newcomer Sari Kobayashi. The match carries personal significance for Alex Popp, who played for 1. FFC Recklinghausen during her youth career and tenure with their women’s team. BVB aims to secure the cup title this season to qualify for the DFB Cup next year, following their elimination by FC Schalke 04 last November.
