History
The women's and girls' department of 1. FC Nürnberg was founded on 24 August 1988. As part of the restructuring of the club and the spin-off of the departments into independent clubs, seven people founded an independent club in the business premises of 1. FC Nürnberg in the spring of 1995, as 1. Fußball-Club Nürnberg Frauen- und Mädchen Fußball e. V.. In 1999, the club managed to achieve promotion to the Bundesliga for the 1999–2000 season, which was followed by relegation to the Regionalliga South. In 2003–04, they were relegated to Bayernliga, then to Bayernliga North, before they secured two consecutive promotions to the Regionalliga for the 2009–10 season. After two seasons, they were relegated back to Bayernliga, before spending another eight years in Regionalliga.
In 2020–21, Nürnberg finished top of their group in Regionalliga South, to achieve promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. On 19 November 2022, at the annual general meeting of 1. FC Nürnberg, the merger of the women's and girls' football club and the men's football club was decided without any dissenting votes.[1] In 2022–23, the club finished second in the second division, which secured their promotion to the Bundesliga after 24 years.[2] In the 2023–24 season, the club moved from playing at Valznerweiher to Max-Morlock-Stadion.[3] After being relegated following an 11th-place finish in the top division, Nürnberg clinched a return to the Bundesliga in late April 2025 by securing a spot among the top three teams.[4]
