The Frauen-Bundesliga (German for Women's Federal League), currently known as the Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga for sponsorship reasons, is the top level of league competition for women's association football in Germany.
In the UEFA Women's Champions League, the Frauen-Bundesliga is the most successful league with a total of nine titles from four clubs.
In 1990 the German Football Association (DFB) created the German Women's Bundesliga, based on the model of the men's Bundesliga.[1][2] It was first played with north and south divisions, but in 1997 the groups were merged to form a uniform league. The league currently consists of twelve teams and the seasons usually last from late summer to the end of spring with a break in the winter. Despite the league's competitiveness, it has been semi-professional.[3][4][5] VfL Wolfsburg has won the most championships.[6] Although the league has become more professional, women's-only teams have found it difficult to support themselves without corporate financial backing.[7][8]
