The Deutsche Amateur Radio Club e.V. (DARC) is sponsoring this award to celebrate the Women's Football (Soccer) World Cup 2011. Both licensed amateur radio operators and short wave listeners (SWL's) can apply for this award.

In the period beginning June 1st and ending July 31st, 2011, the special station DL0YLWM and YL district stations with the callsigns DL0YLx or DR11YLx and the special DOK YLWMx will be on the air. The character x stands for the respective DARC district, e.g. DL0YLF will be active for DARC district Hessen and use the special DOK YLWMF.
