Partnership between Stepstone and FC Viktoria Berlin is extended - Seite 2

Next milestones for even more professionalization firmly in sight

After winning the championship and narrowly missing out on promotion last season, the team is currently in second place in the Regional League North East. However, the players were not only able to celebrate the championship title in 2023. The team qualified for the round of 16 of the DFB Cup for the first time in the club's history. The big goal of making it to the Bundesliga in five years' time is still firmly in the team's sights.

Verena Pausder, co-founder of the company that runs the women's team, emphasizes how important a strong partner like Stepstone is for the club's development: "We are delighted to have extended our partnership with our main sponsor Stepstone. This partnership is a perfect match, both in terms of people and content, and we already have so many good ideas about what else we can drive forward together." These include broadcasting more of their own matches to increase the visibility of women's soccer in Germany - with Stepstone's support, two matches have already been shown on free-to-air TV. The players are also supported with salaries, better training conditions and insurance. FC Viktoria Berlin wants to continue to stand for change in the sports landscape for women - in Berlin and beyond.
