"Eintracht Frankfurt (Bundesliga) and 1.FFC Frankfurt (Flyeralarm Frauen-Bundesliga) have sealed the merger that had been prepared over the last few months, creating a new hub of German women's youth and senior football at the heart of Europe," announced the two clubs from Frankfurt am Main (Hesse, GER), after the former absorbed the latter on 16/06/2020.

"1.FFC Frankfurt's success story (see awards below) is now set to be infused with the Eintracht Frankfurt spirit, with the ideal structure in place to achieve even greater goals as the two Frankfurt clubs combine their women's youth and senior football activities. For us this is a dream come true," added Eintracht, whose logo will appear on the shirts of all 1.FFC Frankfurt teams from 01/07/2020.

"1. FFC have had a greater impact on German women's football over the past 20 years than any other club, and turned Frankfurt into an incredible centre for domestic and international women's football," said Axel Hellmann, board member at Eintracht Frankfurt.
