"FC Bayern is expanding its Legends team to include five prominent figures from women's football: Karin Danner, Melanie Leupolz, Lena Lotzen, Viktoria Schnaderbeck and Gina Lewandowski will represent the club alongside Giovane Élber and colleagues as newly integrated 'FC Bayern Women Legends'. Giovane Élber draws a Paulaner, while the four women sit at the bar, looking forward to the first round: this is how Karin Danner, Viktoria Schnaderbeck, Melanie Leupolz and Lena Lotzen start their tenure as new members of the FC Bayern Legends."
"As players and managers, these women have helped shape the history of FC Bayern and have had a lasting impact on the club's development. In their new role, they will now work with FC Bayern to address issues beyond the pitch, from the further development of women's football to the compatibility of competitive sport and motherhood and the transition of professional sportswomen into a life after their playing careers."
Five prominent former FC Bayern women — Karin Danner, Melanie Leupolz, Lena Lotzen, Viktoria Schnaderbeck and Gina Lewandowski — have been integrated into the club's Legends team as FC Bayern Women Legends. The group appeared publicly at the Allianz Arena ahead of a Bundesliga opener attended by 57,762 spectators, sharing a moment with Giovane Élber and celebrating the occasion. The new Legends will work with the club on issues beyond the pitch, including the development of women's football, balancing competitive sport and motherhood, and supporting transitions to life after playing. Club leadership framed the move as an important signal to recognise women pioneers.
