German men's football reports slight increase in women in leadership roles

A report by FKM indicates that women's representation in leadership positions within German men's football is gradually rising. Last season, 9.6% of the 94 key positions in Bundesliga and second division club boardrooms were held by women, up from 6% the previous year. Four out of 18 relevant posts filled were by women, including Tatjana Haenni, who became the Bundesliga's first female chief executive at RB Leipzig. Despite this progress, the male presence in management remains predominant. The report suggests that only one out of 19 top boardroom vacancies was filled by a woman for the 2024-25 season.
