1. FC Union Berlin is a women's association football club from Berlin, Germany. It is part of the 1. FC Union Berlin club.
History 1. FC Union Berlin was among the first clubs in former East Germany to establish a women's team. On 22 September 1969, the women's team received support from the club's first men's team and was coached by Bernd Müller and Bernd Vogel. After the dissolution of KWO Berlin in 1990, all their players joined 1. FC Union and competed in the final season of the GDR football championship. The team later played in the Oberliga Nordost but was relegated to the Verbandsliga Berlin in 1993.
They were promoted to the Regionalliga Nordost for the 2001–02 season and then to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga for the 2007–08 season. After two seasons, they were relegated back to the Regionalliga Nordost for five seasons. Between 2014–15 and 2016–17, they experienced several promotions and relegations. Eventually, they settled in the Regionalliga Nordost until they were converted into a professional club for the 2023–24 season. Subsequently, they finished at the top of their region, earning promotion back to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga for the 2024–25 season, following a 10–0 victory on aggregate over SV Henstedt-Ulzburg in the promotion play-off final. During the 2023–24 Regionalliga Nordost season, the team outscored opponents 145–5. On 27 April 2025, the club secured their first-ever promotion to the Bundesliga following a 6–1 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach.
