Did you know that women's football is really popular in Germany?
Germany has one of the most successful women's football teams in the world! They have won the Women's World Cup twice (2003, 2007) and the European Championships seven times.
The most famous female player is Birgit Prinz, the German captain, who has scored more than 120 goals for her country.
The 6th Women's Football World Cup took place in Germany in 2011. Sixteen national teams, including England and Germany, competed against each other, and over 73,000 people attended the opening match between Germany and Canada. That's a big crowd!
Germany didn't manage to win this time round, but were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Japan, who went on to win the competition.
The German ladies are already setting their sights on the Women's European Championships in Sweden, 2013.
