women's football (soccer) inGermany . The German Women's Bundesliga was created, based on the model of the men's Bundesliga, in1991 by the German Football Association (DFB). It was first played with north and south divisions, but in1997 the groups were merged to form a uniform league.Mode
In the Bundesliga there are 12 teams. At the end of a season the clubs finishing 11th and 12th are replaced with the winners of the two 2. Bundesliga divisions. A Bundesliga season consists of two rounds with 22 games combined. In a round every club plays against each other, having a home game against a specific club in one round and an away game in the other. The seasons typically start in August or September, with the first round finishing in December. The second round typically starts in February and ends in May or June, though sometimes the first games of the second round are held in December. Also due to the interference of World Cups the league might in certain years be suspended for a month.
The team in the 1st spot after the 22nd (last) day of play is the champion, gaining the title of "Deutscher Meister". The champion qualifies for the
UEFA Women's cup . As the winner of the UEFA Women's Cup is automatically qualified for the UEFA Women's Cup in the next year the Bundesliga occasionally has two teams playing in the UEFA Women's Cup.The Bundesliga ranking is determined by points a club has gained during a season. A win is worth 3 points, a draw 1, and a loss 0. The tiebreakers are in descending order goal difference, goals for, and head-to-head results. If the tie cannot be broken a tiebreaking game is held.
