Vatican football women are subject to Berlin - debacle 3: 0!

In the Käthe Tucholla Stadium in Berlin, the Vatican's women's football team lost its first international match. On Saturday, in one afternoon full of sporting expectations, the team lost 3-0 to the selection of the KSV Johannisthal, as reported by the Catholic News Agency (KNA).

About 100 spectators came together to follow the encounter, which was held in two halves of 30 minutes. Despite the clear defeat, the team showed some exciting approaches, but could not prevail against the experienced players of the KSV Johannisthal. This team was specially compiled for the game and performed with a strong performance.

The background of the Vatican team

The Vatican Women's Football team has been participating in various encounters since its foundation in 2018, with the 2019 team's abroad in Austria. This premiere ended in a scandal at the time when some Austrian players expressed pro-abdominal messages during the Vatican anthem. This led to the early termination of the game.

Although the team from the Vatican in Berlin had to accept a defeat again, the atmosphere during the game was calm and without special occurrences. At the first encounter abroad of the Vatican women in Rome against the district league team Pichanga FC a year ago they also had to collect three goals, but were able to score their own goal.

In the same afternoon, a game also took place between a men's selection of the KSV Johannisthal and the Vatican's men's team, which attracted additional spectators and enriched the event as a whole.

The club management of the Vienna Women's League Club FC Mariahilf expressed her regret about the cancellation of a friendly game caused by a provocation of three players. This shows that even in the world of sport, especially in women's football, conflicts and misunderstandings can occur that influence the games and their organization.

Overall, it remains to be seen how the Vatican Women's Football team will develop in the future and whether they can learn from previous experiences in order to perhaps more successfully cut off at the next challenge. Further information is here find.
