A venue with fond memories

The Munich women have fond memories of their only trip to the Alte Försterei to date. At the end of April, head coach José Barcala’s side secured the league title ahead of schedule with a 3–2 away win at Union.

Last season’s home game against the Köpenick women also laid down a marker: in November, FC Bayern Women comfortably beat the then-newly promoted side 4–0. With that in mind, the situation ahead of their next meeting in Berlin looks very positive from a Munich perspective.
