History edit

The women's football section of MSV Duisburg was founded in 2014. It is the successor club of FCR 2001 Duisburg which went into insolvency the year before. When FCR 2001 Duisburg had to file for insolvency during the 2013–14 season, nearly all players left the club and joined the MSV Duisburg. As MSV they were allowed to continue the second half of the season with the original license of the FCR. MSV Duisburg played in the second level, 2. Bundesliga. In 2015–16, winning the league championship promoted the club to the 2016–17 Bundesliga. The club remained in the top level until 2020–21. In May 2022, they returned to the Bundesliga for the 2022–23 season.
