The Football Club Internazionale Milano, founded in 1908, has operated its own women's football team since July 1, 2018. In their first season, the Nerazzurri achieved promotion to Serie A directly. In Italy's top flight, the Milanese women initially established themselves in mid-table before they advanced to the top 3 for the first time in the 2022/23 season and became runners-up in the last two seasons. Last year, the Italian women also played international football for the first time in their club's history. After failing to qualify for the Champions League, they reached the round of sixteen in the European Cup but lost there to the later winners, BK Häcken from Sweden.

They play their home games at the Arena Civica Gianni Brera, a former amphitheater that was completed in 1807 after two years of construction. In 1870, it was then converted into a municipal arena and has been the home ground of Inter Milan since November 2023, with a capacity of about 10,000 spectators. Among the Northern Italians is the four-time German champion and 77-time national player Lina Magull, who has worn the black-and-blue jersey since 2024.

With the second place achieved last season, the Schwarz-Blauen once again have the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League in the qualifiers.

“We are all very much looking forward to the first game at the Alte Försterei against Inter Milan. After a good and intense week of training, we want to further solidify the content from the last weeks against an international opponent. We can't wait to play in our stadium in front of our fans,” said head coach Marie-Louise Eta.

The Stadion An der Alten Försterei opens two hours before kick off.

Tickets for the rehearsal of Union’s women against Inter are still available for sale online as well as physically in all Union-Zeughäuser. In the standing area, Union offers an attractive family deal: A ticket for one adult and one child (6 to 12 years) is already available for €13.

On match day, tickets can also be purchased at the box offices starting from the stadium opening. Additionally, Union offers the possibility to secure the season ticket for the home games of Union’s women at the fan support office (Box office area 1) after the final whistle. Day tickets for the upcoming match days can also be purchased there.

Hämmerlingstraße will be reopened, but the footpath to the stadium will not lead through the forest path, but along the sports hall. There are still extensive traffic disruptions in public transport, and access via the tram lines "Altstadt Köpenick" is only possible with the rail replacement service. 

There are remaining parking spaces available in front of the main stand, which can only be booked online for €8.
