Almuth Schult, a celebrated goalkeeper for Germany's women's national team, has announced her retirement from professional football after a storied career. With 66 appearances for her country, she was instrumental in Germany's victories at the 2016 Olympics and the 2013 Euros, further contributing to a runner-up finish at Euro 2022. Schult, who previously played for Kansas City Current and boasts honors such as four Frauen-Bundesliga titles and a Women's Champions League title, now looks forward to family life as she prepares for her fourth child.
It was always clear to me that I would be available for the national team as long as my competitive sports career lasted.
It has always filled me with pride to represent my country and to hear the anthem. A career is marked by ups and downs, and I'm happy about every single one of them.
Schult is an icon of Germany's women's national team, having played a key role in their Olympic and Euros triumphs in 2016 and 2013 respectively.
She counts one Women's Champions League title among her honours, too.
