The title of 2009

The club also added the DFB-Pokal in 2015, with Kevin De Bruyne. Its women's section is one of the best in Europe, winning the Champions League twice in 2013 and 2014.
The green and white shirt
The colours of Wolfsburg are green and white. The home kit is usually green, while the away kit is white or dark. The wolf and a stylised W adorn the badge.

They should pick their usual size, or one size up for extra ease, and wash their shirt inside out at thirty degrees to preserve the badge.
