In 2017, a professional Women’s footy league was successfully implemented in Australia. This positive movement also continued all the way over to Germany, where a handful of enthusiastic female members of our club founded the Frankfurt Redcats – our all female Australian Football team – in November 2018.
Since 2019, the Redcats play in the Women’s division of the Australian Football League Germany (AFL Germany). On the back of the strong development of the German women’s league, some of our ladies already participated in international tournaments as they have been selected to play for the German national team.
In 2024, the women’s team was renamed Frankfurt Redbacks to unify the club’s appearance and allow both men and women to compete under the same nick name and same uniform and merchandise.

Redbacks team song
Oh we’re from Spiderland
A fighting fury
We’re from Spiderland
In any weather you will see us with a grin
Risking head and shin
If we’re behind then never mind
We’ll fight and fight and win
For we’re from Spiderland
We never weaken til the final siren’s gone
Like the Spider of old
We’re strong and we’re bold
For we’re from Spider
The Red and The Black
We’re from Spiderland.
