"If you cast your eyes over the FC Bayern women's squad these days, ahead of the next big clash against VfL Wolfsburg (Sunday, 16.20 CET), you'll see international careers, German champions, a two-time European champion. And then your gaze lingers on one year: 2017. Only one player has been with the team without interruption since then and has witnessed every sporting high and low, every reorganisation, every change of coach, every title celebration and every defeat in a final."
"Eight and a half years at a club is anything but the norm in modern professional football. The Munich club has invested, created structures and developed international appeal. Anyone who joins FCB today will find a club that sets standards. When Damnjanović arrived in 2017, many things were still in the making. She was 22, had spells at Wolfsburg and SC Sand behind her and had won the Champions League with the club from Lower Saxony."
Jovana Damnjanović has been with FC Bayern since 2017 and is the squad's longest-serving member. She has experienced every sporting high and low, every reorganisation, coach change, title celebration and final defeat while exemplifying consistency. Her first Bundesliga match occurred on 7 September 2013 when she came off the bench for VfL Wolfsburg against Bayern Munich and vividly remembers the 1-1 draw. She joined Bayern at age 22 after spells at Wolfsburg and SC Sand and after winning the Champions League with Wolfsburg. She was convinced by Bayern's project and was present at the Campus on day one. Her career now comes full circle ahead of another Wolfsburg match.
