HSV women complete double promotion: A weekend for eternity

"Incredible. We made history," said goalscorer Meyer after the match. Thirteen years after the HSV women were withdrawn from the Bundesliga at the end of the 2011/12 season for financial reasons, the Hanseatic League is back in the top flight. Marcell Jansen, President of HSV eV, spoke of a successful "correction" of the past.

HSV coach Marwin Bolz was still soaking wet from the beer shower as he analyzed the match. "Hats off to the girls. They did an outstanding job," said the 27-year-old, who will leave his post at SV Meppen after the final game of the season next Sunday. Liése Brancão will take over for the new season. The 43-year-old Brazilian most recently worked for SKN St. Pölten in Austria.
