Transgender footballers in Germany can choose men's or women's team [View all]
German football is bucking the recent trend of banning transgender women from women’s competition by allowing transgender, intersex and non-binary players to decide whether to play in men’s or women’s teams.
The German football federation passed a regulation for gender-nonconforming players with the civil status “diverse” or “unspecified” on Thursday.
“It also applies to transgender players who can now switch at a self-determined time or remain initially in the team in which they’d been playing previously,” the DFB said. “As long as the sporting activity does not affect the health of the person while they are taking medication, the person can take part in the game, which is why the new regulation excludes doping relevance.”
The rules take effect in the coming season and will be incorporated into the DFB’s game regulations for youth, futsal and amateur football.
