Alexandra Popp: DFB captain is not resigning

Despite thoughts of retirement, captain Alexandra Popp assumes that she will still be able to take part in the upcoming Nations League games at the end of October. When asked about the German footballers’ 4-0 (2-0) win against Iceland in Bochum, the 32-year-old replied: “As long as we don’t have security on the pitch again and I still have the feeling that I can help , I won’t leave the place for now.”

Before the 2-0 defeat against Denmark at the start of the Olympic qualification, the goalscorer said that she was keeping her DFB future open beyond the current international matches. Your contract with VfL Wolfsburg runs until 2025.

Popp now wants a quick decision regarding the open future of the ill national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg. “Of course we need clarity as to exactly what will happen next,” she explained.
