Turbine Potsdam: Friendly match in Hohenleipisch – Be there!

The small Hohenleipisch will be the stage for an exciting football event on Sunday, July 20, 2025. As part of the traditional sports festival of VfB Hohenleipisch 1912 e.V., 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam takes on the Czech first division club FC Slovan Liberec. Kick-off is at 3:00 p.m. at the local sports field and entry costs just 3 euros. Not only football fans and supporters of the Turbine team, but also families from the surrounding area are cordially invited to attend this friendly match. The aim of the game is to offer the team a tough test in their summer preparation, and at the same time to make women's football at an international level possible in a family atmosphere, as turbine-potsdam.de reports.

The sports festival looks back on a long tradition. Recently, more precisely at the club's anniversary from July 13th to 16th, 2023, the history of VfB Hohenleipisch was honored with a variety of celebrations. Over 2,000 spectators attended the festival, which offered a colorful program of sporting and cultural highlights. This included exciting games and tournaments, including an e-junior tournament, which FC Energie Cottbus won. During the big parade, 36 pictures, led by the Hirschfelder marching band, marched through the streets, and everyone was cordially invited to enjoy the activities for children and families, as vfb-hohenleipisch.de highlights.

Growth of women's football

In this context, the friendly match is not only another date in the football calendar, but also a sign of the continued growth of women's football. With the UEFA Women's EURO taking place in England and CONCACAF qualifying for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Mexico, FIFA's figures show that women's football is on a new high. In the FIFA/Coca-Cola world rankings that have now been published, 181 of 211 member associations are listed - a new record. FIFA also drew attention through its strategy and specific programs to promote women's football, as inside.fifa.com points out.

FIFA's initiatives and support during the pandemic, with a USD 1.5 billion relief package, demonstrate the ambition to increase the number of girls and women in football to 60 million by 2026. This all also comes ahead of the upcoming 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand. This shows that women's football is not only growing, but is also becoming more and more important.

Let's celebrate women's football!

The upcoming sports festival in Hohenleipisch and the game between Turbine Potsdam and Slovan Liberec will be an excellent opportunity not only to celebrate women's football, but also to support it. Fans, families and anyone interested are invited to take part in this unique experience and experience the athleticism and passion of the game up close. There's nothing better than enjoying the atmosphere of a good game in such a warm community.
