VfL Wolfsburg women's football season and UCL qualification

Overview

VfL Wolfsburg women’s football team began their season with a dominant 8-2 victory over 1. FC Nürnberg in the Bundesliga opener. After trailing 0-2 early in the match, Wolfsburg secured a comeback following a red card issued to Nürnberg’s Fany Proniez in the 51st minute.

Building on this momentum, the team transitioned to preparations for the UEFA Women’s Champions League third qualifying round against Inter Milan. Despite facing personnel changes due to the loss of key players Alexandra Popp and Lineth Beerensteyn, the squad has maintained high morale as they seek to advance to the group stage. In the first leg of the qualifying round, Wolfsburg took a significant step toward the league phase by defeating Inter Milan 2-0 at home. Lara Prašnikar opened the scoring in the 42nd minute, and Camilla Küver added a second goal following a red card for Inter's Chiara Robustellini in the 49th minute.

Despite holding a 2-0 advantage heading into the return leg, Wolfsburg failed to secure a spot in the Champions League league phase. Following a match that ended 1-3 after extra time, Wolfsburg was eliminated by Inter Milan in a dramatic penalty shootout, losing 4-5. Inter Milan’s victory was bolstered by the performance of former Wolfsburg player Lina Magull.

As a result of this elimination, Wolfsburg will now compete in the UEFA Women's Europa Cup. Following the conclusion of the qualifying rounds, Wolfsburg is among several German clubs that failed to qualify for the tournament, including Eintracht Frankfurt, who was eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain following a 5-1 defeat in extra time. This leaves FC Bayern as the sole German representative in the Champions League league phase.
