Women's football

edit

The women's section was founded in July 1980. Two years later, they participated in league play. After two more years, they reached the Verbandsliga Südbaden, the then highest league. In 1992 the team won the Verbandsliga Championship and played a promotion playoff for the then active Bundesliga. The team lost however. In 1996 the team won the Verbandsliga again and won the promotion playoff. The team achieved a sixth-place finish in its southern Bundesliga division. As the Bundesliga merged both divisions, the team had to play a qualification-round in which the team got second out of four, thus failing to qualify for the next Bundesliga season. In 2004 the 2nd Bundesliga was founded and SC Sand has been playing there from the start achieving only midfield places.

In May 2014, the club was promoted to the Frauen-Bundesliga for the second time in its history. In April 2016, the club advanced to the final of the 2015/16 DFB Cup after a 2-1 victory over eventual German champions FC Bayern Munich, celebrating the greatest success in the club's history to date. On 21 May 2016, they lost the final 2-1 to VfL Wolfsburg. In 2017, they managed to repeat the past season's success in the cup but lost the final against Wolfsburg once again.

In 2022, the club was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga.
