Hertha BSC Women Secure Promotion to Germany’s 2. Bundesliga

Hertha BSC’s women’s team clinched promotion to the 2. Bundesliga after a 2‑3 victory in the second leg of the relegation playoff, overturning a 4‑1 first‑leg deficit. The decisive match, attended by 4,203 spectators, featured an early goal from striker Elfie Wellhausen and a late winner that sealed the aggregate success.

In the same playoff, 1. FC Saarbrücken’s women’s side fell short of promotion despite a 3‑2 win in the return leg against Hertha. The 1‑4 loss in the first match meant they needed at least four goals to force extra time, but Hertha’s striker Ellie Wellhausen netted the decisive goal in the 82nd minute, ending Saarbrücken’s promotion hopes.
