Dortmund will start sketching out its women's operations in the coming months and will step into the eighth division in 2021.

- Our plan for our women's activities starts at the bottom, and the idea is that we will reach the top, says club manager Carsten Cramer.

- The team will play in a regional b-division, but the goal is to reach the Bundesliga within ten years.

Dortmund's arch-rival Schalke 04 have also announced that they will start up a women's team in the same division 8 series just in time for the 2021–2022 season.
