So far only FC St. Pauli has decided on a quota for women. With that, the Hamburg club is alone. A survey by the stern showed that no other professional club is planning such a regulation – for very different reasons.
The FC St. Pauli presented and decided on a quota for women at its general meeting. A wake-up call for the Bundesliga? Are other clubs following suit now? We wanted to know and asked the clubs in the first two leagues for their comments. The result of the sternSurvey must disappoint everyone who saw a turning point coming and hoped for more diversity and gender equality: Not a single club is currently planning a women’s quota. A domino effect is not to be expected. The clubs justify their reluctance in very different ways.

Women’s quota: FC St. Pauli is not a role model
“We have 35% women in the administrative area and thus live diversity quite naturally,” reports RB Leipzig. “A relatively large number of women (…) have come to the club and the company without this being due to a quota of women “, it is meanwhile at Borussia Mönchengladbach. And at SC Freiburg it is pointed out that fields of work are just being readjusted – and the upcoming move to the new stadium unfortunately ties up resources. In Hanover the” construct (…) is a little different than that of the FC St. Pauli, that’s why it can’t be transferred one-to-one. “And most of them stick with SSV Jahn Regensburg and want” a gender-independent filling of management positions based on skills “.
