The 2019–20 DFB-Pokal was the 40th season of the annual German football cup competition. 48 teams participated in the competition, including all teams from the previous year's Frauen-Bundesliga and the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, excluding second teams. The competition began on 3 August 2019 with the first of six rounds and ended on 4 July 2020 with the final at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, a nominally neutral venue, which has hosted the final since 2010.[1] The DFB-Pokal is considered the second-most important club title in German women's football after the Bundesliga championship. The DFB-Pokal is run by the German Football Association (DFB).

The defending champions were Frauen-Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg, after they defeated SC Freiburg 1–0 in the previous final.[2] Wolfsburg once again won the cup, defeating SGS Essen after penalties.[3]

The competition was suspended on 16 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany,[4] and resumed in June 2020 with matches behind closed doors.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

[edit]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, on 16 March, it was announced that the competition will be suspended until 19 April.[4] On 3 April, the suspension was extended until 30 April.[5] On 20 May, it was announced that the competition would be continued on 2 June.[6] All remaining matches were played behind closed doors. In addition, five substitutions were permitted for the remaining matches, with a sixth allowed in extra time, following a proposal from FIFA and approval by IFAB to lessen the impact of fixture congestion.[7][8]
