Milagro de Taipei

Hasta 1970, el Fútbol femenino estaba prohibido en Alemania, de este modo fueron las jugadoras del SSG 09 Bergisch Gladbach las cuales formaban parte de un equipo ilegal las que aceptaron la invitación de participar en el primer mundial femenino de Taiwan.

In 1981 the Women’s World Invitational tournament was held in Taiwan. At the time, women’s football was more tolerated than supported by the DFB. Because West Germany did not yet have a national team, the team of SSG Bergisch Gladbach 09 were sent and, despite pitiful conditions, caused for a surprise that would change the future of the sport in Germany.
