"Signing Alex is a major statement of our ambitions. The fact that a player of her calibre has consciously chosen BVB makes us incredibly proud and sends a strong signal about the importance and future of women's football at Dortmund."
Alexandra Popp, former Germany captain and three-time Women's Footballer of the Year, has signed with Borussia Dortmund on a three-year deal starting in the 2026-27 season.
