Frauen am Ball: Die hindernisreiche Geschichte des Frauenfussballs 0 17. November 2025 Im Juli 2025 erlebten wir mit der UEFA Women's EURO ein Sommermärchen. Aber der Weg zu diesem Erfolg des Frauenfussballs war lang und steinig. Der Vortrag beleuchtet die Geschichte des Frauenfussballs international und in der Schweiz. Er zeigt die Pionierinnen und Meilensteine der historischen Entwicklung auf und widmet sich der Frage, warum es so lange gedauert hat, bis Fussball nicht mehr als rein männliche Sportart verstanden wurde.
