Holstein Kiel (women)

Holstein Kiel (women) is a women's association football club from Kiel, Germany. It is part of the Holstein Kiel club.

History
Holstein Kiel was founded in 2004 after the dissolution of the Regionalliga club SV-TUS Felde, in addition to a collaboration with TSV Schilksee. In their inaugural season in 2004–05, they emerged as champions of the Regionalliga Nord, earning promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. In the meantime, their player Nina Jokuschies became a World Cup champion with the Germany U19 team in the 2004 tournament.

The club competed in the 2. Bundesliga until 2011, followed by experiencing a series of promotions and relegations until 2016, when they returned to the Regionalliga Nord. In 2018, there were plans to incorporate the women's football department into VfB Kiel for the 2018–19 season for financial reasons. However, these plans were withdrawn and an agreement was reached to continue working with KSV Holstein.
