Marina Hegering (32/20 / FC Bayern Munich): Nickname “Maschina”. Is the defense chief and eldest in the team, but has often been injured lately. Strong in duels and experienced. Will play in Wolfsburg in the future and should switch to the coaching staff there in two years.
Kathrin Hendrich (30/46 / VfL Wolfsburg): Everyone just calls her “Kathy”. The central defender enjoys a high reputation at Voss-Tecklenburg because of her recent strong development. As the daughter of a Belgian mother and a German mother, she has both citizenships.
Sophia Kleinherne (22/16/Eintracht Frankfurt): Made her debut in the DFB team in 2019 in front of over 77,000 spectators at London’s Wembley Stadium against England. The central defender helped her club qualify for the Champions League. Likes Spain’s edge Sergio Ramos.
Felicitas Rauch (26/21 / VfL Wolfsburg): Planned as a left-back. Was only nominated on call at the 2019 World Cup. “A central pillar” at VfL, as sports director Ralf Kellermann says. Names Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold as a role model.
Midfield and Attack:
Nicole Anyomi (22/8/Eintracht Frankfurt): One of many national players who was trained at SGS Essen. Speed on the flank is their forte. Her parents come from Ghana and Togo, she is involved in the fight against racism.
Jule Brand (19/16/TSG 1899 Hoffenheim): The winger is considered the top German talent. The magazine “11 Freunde” named her the newcomer of the season. Scored after just two minutes in her DFB debut in 2021 against Australia. Will play for VfL Wolfsburg in the future.
Klara Bühl (21/24 / FC Bayern Munich): In 2019 she was awarded the Fritz Walter Medal by the DFB as the best young player. Experienced a small career break in the club: scored only three league goals – as many as last time in the 7-0 win against Switzerland.
Sara Däbritz (27/86 / Paris Saint-Germain): Together with Alexandra Popp and Svenja Huth one of three captains. The playmaker has signed a three-year deal with Champions League winners Olympique Lyon. The only German field player from abroad.
Linda Dallmann (27/45 / FC Bayern Munich): Only 1.58 meters tall, but dangerous and extremely agile. Has four older brothers, a passion for muscle training, a lot of humor – that’s why he’s often called “Our little Stromberg”.
Laura Freigang (24/13/Eintracht Frankfurt): The striker is the DJ in the dressing room and is rarely at a loss for clear words. She recently even gave an interview to “Playboy”. Considered a strong joker, has already scored nine goals in her 13 international matches.
Svenja Huth (31/66/VfL Wolfsburg): Best Playstation player in the team. Married her partner shortly before the EM. The offensive player was European champion in 2013 and is one of the most important veterans in the team.
Lena Lattwein (22/17/VfL Wolfsburg): Studies business mathematics at the University of Mannheim. Is easily recognizable on the pitch by her blond mane. Came to Wolfsburg from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in 2021 and established himself there in midfield.
Sydney Lohmann (22/12/FC Bayern Munich): Dynamic, strong-willed and dangerous offensive player. After a hip operation in October, fit for the European Championship in time – and recently with very strong performances at Bayern.
