Meidericher Spielverein 02 e. V. Duisburg, commonly known as MSV Duisburg, is a German women's football club based in Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia.

History

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 the 2021–22 season, they returned to the Bundesliga for the 2022–23 season.^[1] Following a last-place finish in the 2023–24 Bundesliga, they withdrew from the 2024–25 2. Bundesliga season.^[2] The decision was made to compete in the West Regionalliga, following the relegation of the men's team to the Regionalliga and the resulting financial deficits.^[3]
