The Frauen-Bundesliga has its first-ever managing director. Marcel Wontorra, currently Chief Operating Officer at streaming platform Dyn Sport, has been named to lead the newly independent women's top flight in Germany.
The 35-year-old - son of veteran TV presenter Jörg Wontorra and brother of broadcaster Laura Wontorra - brings considerable media industry experience to the role. He has been part of Dyn Sport's leadership team since 2022, having previously spent several years at Axel Springer. An exact start date has yet to be confirmed.
Wontorra has spoken confidently about the league's potential, signalling his intention to expand its media and digital footprint while making it more attractive to fans, players, and commercial partners alike. Both sporting and economic growth are firmly in his sights.
The appointment follows a landmark decision by the DFB, which approved the Frauen-Bundesliga's separation during an extraordinary congress on 18 September. A foundational and lease agreement is set to come into force on 1 July of next year, as OneFootball reports.
Under the new structure, the FBL will operate through a GmbH subsidiary responsible for organisation, marketing, and development - all falling under Wontorra's remit. It marks a significant step in professionalising women's football at the highest level in Germany.
