TuS Niederkirchen

TuS Niederkirchen was founded in 1900. Since 1969 the club had a women's football department, which was a member of the women's Bundesliga at its inception. After winning the championship in 1992–93 the club was relegated to the Regionalliga in 2000. Several seasons of promotions and relegations followed. In the last season at TuS Niederkirchen the club finished 9th in the 2. Bundesliga. When the club's management decided not to apply for a license for the next season, but did not inform the players about that decision, the entire women's section left the club to found their own. On 25 April 2008 1. FFC 08 Niederkirchen was established, and began playing in the Regionalliga Südwest in 2008–09.

After two years in the Regionalliga, the team returned to the 2nd Bundesliga as champions in 2010 and secured its place in the league on the antepenultimate match day. In April 2011 a co-operation - initially lasting two years - was announced with 1. FC Kaiserslautern from 1 July 2011, which was extended by two years in July 2013. In 2015, the team was relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga, but managed direct re-promotion in 2016. Two years later, 1. FFC was relegated again before being promoted after the 2019–20 season.
