Eintracht Frankfurt women's Champions League campaign

On 31 July 2026, Eintracht Frankfurt’s women’s side won a 1-0 friendly against Racing Strasbourg in Bad Nauheim, a warm-up for the season and upcoming European fixtures. Danique Tolhoek scored the winning goal in the match, which was attended by approximately 650 spectators.

The team opened the 2026/27 UEFA Women’s Champions League qualification on 5 August, hosting AC Omonia Nicosia in Frankfurt. After a series of preparatory friendlies and the addition of five new players, Frankfurt recorded an 8-0 victory in the mini-tournament that decides which three German clubs advance to the league phase.

The win set up a decisive qualifier against Malmö FF, scheduled for the following weekend. Malmö’s coach Jonas Valfridsson praised Frankfurt’s offensive quality but insisted his side are not underdogs, highlighting the high stakes of the tie.

On 8 August, Eintracht Frankfurt secured advancement to the third qualifying round with a 2-0 victory over Malmö FF at the Brentanobad stadium. Captain Laura Freigang scored both goals, providing a header in the 39th minute and a long-range strike in the 76th minute. As an unseeded team, Frankfurt faces a potential matchup against seeded opponents such as Chelsea FC, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, or Juventus Turin in the upcoming two-legged ties scheduled for August 26 and September 2.

Parallel to the on-field progress, the squad remains under a doping investigation concerning captain Laura Freigang, who is alleged to have missed three mandatory controls within twelve months. Freigang has attributed the situation to "discrepancies or misunderstandings" regarding reporting requirements for national players. She has described the matter as an "open situation" that is not yet confirmed, expressing hope for a positive outcome while receiving significant support. While the DFB review continues, she remains active in competition.
