Football

The men's team currently plays in the Kreisliga C Köln which is the sixth division in Middle Rhine region.[1] The women's squad played mostly second tier football with a few seasons in the third tier in between. Since the team left the club in 2008 TuS tried to establish a new women's football division of their own, and they did in 2010 after seeing an increase in their membership. The women's team restarted in the 1. Kreisklasse where they won all their games unbeaten to earn the championship but were not promoted, and entered next season's Kreisliga A, the lowest division, where they play since then.

Seasons

TuS Köln rrh. had already had a women's team for several years when the women's football department of SSG Bergisch Gladbach joined the club in July 1996. The former team of Bergisch Gladbach had played in the Regionalliga where they continued to play at TuS. In 1999 the team was relegated to the Verbandsliga but managed promotion back to the Regionalliga immediately. Afterwards the club stayed for several seasons in the Regionalliga. When TuS qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga at its inception in 2004 the club was not able to meet the organizational requirements of a promotion. TuS qualified again in the following season and this time took advantage of their right for promotion. The team achieved mid-table results in the following three, but left the club at the end of June 2008, expecting better general conditions for promotion to the Bundesliga at Bayer Leverkusen.[2]
