Germany women's national football team

The Germany women's national football team (German: Deutsche
Fußballnationalmannschaft der Frauen) represents Germany in Germany

Football Association (DFB).
The German national team is one of the most successful in women's

football.[2] They are two-time world champions, having won the 2003 and
2007 tournaments. The team has won eight of the thirteen UEFA
European Championships, claiming six consecutive titles between 1995
and 2013. They, along with the Netherlands, are one of the two nations
that have won both the women's and men's European tournament.
Germany has won Olympic gold in 2016, after three consecutive bronze
medals at the Women's Olympic Football Tournament, finishing third in
2000, 2004 and 2008. Birgit Prinz holds the record for most appearances
and is the team's all-time leading goalscorer. Prinz has also set
international records; she has received the FIFA World Player of the Year
award three times and is the joint second overall top goalscorer at the Nickname(s) DFB-Frauenteam

DFB-Frauen
Women's football was long met with skepticism in Germany, and official (DFB-Women)
matches were banned by the DFB until 1970. However, the women's
Association German Football
national team has grown in popularity since winning the World Cup in
2003, as it was chosen as Germany's Sports Team of the Year. As of June Association
2022, Germany is ranked 2nd in the FIFA Women's World Rankings.[3] (Deutscher Fußball-

In 1955, the DFB decided to forbid women's football in all its clubs in West 2001, 2005, 2009,
Germany. In its explanation, the DFB cited that "this combative sport is 2013)
fundamentally foreign to the nature of women" and that "body and soul
would inevitably suffer damage". Further, the "display of the body violates Summer Olympic Games
etiquette and decency".[4] In spite of this ban, more than 150 unofficial Appearances 5 (first in 1996)
international matches were played in the 1950s and 1960s. On 30 October Best result Gold Medal (2016)

FIFA Women's World Cup
Other football associations had already formed official women's national

teams in the 1970s, the DFB long remained uninvolved in women's
football. In 1981, DFB official Horst R. Schmidt was invited to send a team 2007 China Team
to the unofficial women's football world championship. Schmidt accepted 1995 Sweden Team
the invitation but hid the fact that West Germany had no women's national
UEFA Women's Championship
team at the time.[5] To avoid humiliation, the DFB sent the German club
champions Bergisch Gladbach 09, who went on to win the tournament and 1989 West Germany Team
repeat the same feat three years later in 1984.[6] Seeing a need, the DFB 1991 Denmark Team
established the women's national team in 1982. DFB president Hermann 1995 Germany Team
Neuberger appointed Gero Bisanz, an instructor at the Cologne Sports
1997 Norway–Sweden Team
College, to set up the team.[7]

In September 1982, Bisanz organised two scouting training courses from 2013 Sweden Team
which he selected a squad of 16 players.[8] The team's first international 2022 England Team
match took place on 10 November 1982 in Koblenz. Following the tradition
Summer Olympic Games
of the men's team, Switzerland was chosen as West Germany's first
opponent. Doris Kresimon scored the first international goal in the 25th 2016 Rio de Janeiro Team
minute. In the second half, 18-year-old Silvia Neid contributed two goals 2000 Sydney Team
to the 5–1 victory; Neid later became the assistant coach in 1996 and the
2004 Athens Team
head coach in 2005.[7]
2008 Beijing Team
With five draws and one defeat, West Germany failed to qualify for the
inaugural 1984 European Championship, finishing third in the qualifying group.[9] In the beginning, Bisanz's
primary objective was to close the gap to the Scandinavian countries and Italy – then the strongest teams in
Europe. He emphasized training in basic skills and the need for an effective youth programme.[10] Starting in 1985,
Bisanz increasingly called-up younger players, but at first had little success with this concept, as West Germany
again failed to qualify for the 1987 European Championship finals.[11]
Undefeated and without conceding a goal, the German team qualified for the European Championship for the first
time in 1989; the tournament was played on home soil in West Germany. The semi-final against Italy was the first
international women's football match shown live on German television.[12] The game was decided by a penalty
shootout, in which goalkeeper Marion Isbert saved three penalty kicks

and scored the winning penalty herself. On 2 July 1989 in Osnabrück,
West Germany played Norway in the final. Before a crowd of 22,000, they
beat favourites Norway and won 4–1 with goals from Ursula Lohn, Heidi
Mohr and Angelika Fehrmann. This victory marked the team's first
international title.[13]
After the German reunification, the East German football association

joined the DFB. The East German women's national football team had
played only one official international match, losing 0–3 to Czechoslovakia
in a friendly match on 9 May 1990. The unified German team defended
their title successfully at the 1991 European Championship. After winning
all games in the qualifying group, Germany again met Italy in the semi-
final, this time winning 3–0. On 14 July 1991, the German team once
Germany women's national football team in
more faced Norway in the final. The game went to extra time, during
2012
which Heidi Mohr and Silvia Neid scored for Germany and secured the 3–
1 victory.[14]
In November 1991, Germany participated in the first Women's World Cup in China. Following victories over
Nigeria, Taiwan and Italy, the German team reached the quarter-final without conceding a single goal. Silvia Neid
scored the first German World Cup goal on 17 November 1991 against Nigeria. Germany won the quarter-final
against Denmark 2–1 after extra time, but lost 2–5 in the semi-final to the United States, who went on to win the
tournament. Following a 0–4 defeat in the third-place match against Sweden, Germany finished fourth in the
tournament.[15]
The German team failed to defend their title at the 1993 European Championship, suffering a semi-final defeat to
Italy in a penalty shootout, and later losing 1–3 against Denmark in the third-place playoff.[16] Despite the
disappointing result, new talents such as Steffi Jones, Maren Meinert and Silke Rottenberg made their tournament
debut and later became key players for the German team.[12]
1995–2002: Olympic and World Cup disappointments
Birgit Prinz scored in a major tournament for the first time in 1995.
In 1995, Germany won its third European
Championship. After winning all qualification matches, scoring 55 goals, the German team defeated England 6–2
over two legs in the semi-final. Germany met Sweden in the final, which was played at the Fritz Walter Stadion in
Kaiserslautern, Germany, on 26 March 1995. The Swedish team managed to score early, but Germany came back to
win 3–2 with goals from Maren Meinert, Birgit Prinz and Bettina Wiegmann.[17]
At the 1995 Women's World Cup in Sweden, the German team lost against the Scandinavian hosts, but still
succeeded in winning their group by beating Japan and Brazil. Germany won the quarter-final against England 3–
0, and defeated China 1–0 with a late goal by Bettina Wiegmann in the semi-final. On 18 June 1995 in Stockholm,
the German team appeared in their first Women's World Cup final. Facing Norway, they lost the match 0–2, but as
runners-up achieved their best World Cup result until then.[18]
Women's football was first played as an Olympic sport at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Bettina Wiegmann scored
the first Olympic goal in the opening match against Japan, which Germany won 3–2. After losing their second
group game against Norway 2–3, and drawing with Brazil 1–1, Germany was eliminated, finishing third in the
group with four points from three matches.[19] Head coach Gero Bisanz resigned after the tournament and his
assistant since 1983, Tina Theune, took over as the new national coach. Silvia Neid ended her playing career and
was appointed the new assistant coach.[20]
The 1997 European Championship was the first test for new coach Theune. Following a defeat against Norway,
Germany finished second in the qualifying group and only secured qualification by beating Iceland in a relegation
play-off. After drawing with Italy and Norway, a victory over Denmark in the last group game saw the German
team go through to the knockout stage. They beat Sweden 1–0 in the semi-final, and on 12 July 1997, claimed their
fourth European championship with a 2–0 win over Italy, with goals from Sandra Minnert and Birgit Prinz.[21]
At the 1999 Women's World Cup in the United States, the German team also failed to qualify directly, but managed
to beat the Ukraine in a qualifying play-off. Germany started their World Cup campaign by drawing with Italy and
winning 6–0 over Mexico. In the last group game, Germany drew 3–3 against Brazil; by conceding a last minute
equalizer, Germany failed to win the group and subsequently had to face the hosts in the quarter-final. With 54,642
people in attendance, among them U.S. President Bill Clinton, the crowd at the Jack Kent Cooke Stadium was the
biggest the German team had ever played in front of. Despite leading twice, they lost 2–3 to the eventual World
Cup winners.[22]
Germany competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics, winning all three group games against Australia, Brazil and
Sweden. The German team dominated the semi-final against Norway, but lost the game 0–1 after an own goal by
Tina Wunderlich in the 80th minute.[23] They beat Brazil 2–0 in the third place match with goals from Birgit Prinz
and Renate Lingor, and won the bronze medal.[24] It was the first Olympic medal for the German Football
Associations since 1988 when the men's team also won bronze.[25]
In 2001, Germany hosted the European Championship. Following victories over Sweden, Russia and England in
the group stage, the German team beat Norway 1–0 in the semi-final courtesy of a diving header by Sandra Smisek.
On 7 July 2001 in Ulm, they met Sweden in the final, which was played in heavy rain. The game was scoreless after
90 minutes and went to extra time, where Claudia Müller scored a golden goal and secured the fifth European title
for Germany.[26]
2003–present: Two consecutive World Cup titles
At the 2003 Women's World Cup in the United States, Germany was drawn in a
group with Canada, Japan and Argentina. After winning all three group games,
the German team defeated Russia 7–1 in the quarter-final, which set up another
clash with the United States. Germany's Kerstin Garefrekes scored after 15
minutes and goalkeeper Silke Rottenberg made several key saves. In the dying
minutes of the semi-final, Maren Meinert and Birgit Prinz sealed the 3–0 win.
On 12 October 2003, Germany met Sweden in the World Cup final in Los
Angeles. The Scandinavians went ahead before half time, but Maren Meinert

equalized shortly after the break. The game went to extra time, where Nia

Künzer headed the winning golden goal in the 98th minute to claim Germany's
first Women's World Cup title.[27] Birgit Prinz was honoured as the
tournament's best player and top goalscorer.[28]
With wins over China and Mexico, the German team finished first in their group at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
They beat Nigeria 2–1 in the quarter-final, but suffered a 1–2 semi-final loss to the United States after extra time.
In the third place match, Germany defeated Sweden 1–0 with a goal by Renate Lingor, winning the team's second
Olympic bronze medal.[29]
The 2005 European Championship was held in England. With wins over Norway, Italy and France in Round 1, the
German team advanced to the semi-final, where they defeated Finland 4–1. On 19 June 2005, they met Norway for
the third time in the European championship final. Germany won 3–1 with goals from Inka Grings, Renate Lingor
and Birgit Prinz and added a sixth European title.[30] Head coach Tina Theune stepped down after the tournament
and her assistant Silvia Neid took over as national coach.[20] In 2006, Germany won the annual Algarve Cup for
the first time.[31]
As reigning world champion, Germany played the opening game at the 2007
Women's World Cup in China, outclassing Argentina 11–0. After a goalless
draw against England and a 2–0 win over Japan, the German team defeated
North Korea 3–0 in the quarter-final. They beat Norway by the same result in
the semi-final, with goals from Kerstin Stegemann, Martina Müller and a
Norwegian own goal. On 30 September 2007, Germany faced Brazil in the
World Cup final in Shanghai. Birgit Prinz put Germany in front after half time
and goalkeeper Nadine Angerer saved a penalty by Brazilian Marta. Simone
Laudehr scored a second goal after 86 minutes, which sealed the German 2–0 Nadine Angerer saved a penalty in
victory. Germany was the first team (men's and women's game) to win the the 2007 Women's World Cup final.
World Cup without conceding a goal and the first to successfully defend the
Women's World Cup title.[32] With 14 goals, Prinz became the tournament's
overall top goalscorer.[33]
In a replay of the 2007 World Cup final, the German team drew 0–0 with Brazil in the opening game at the 2008
Summer Olympics. They then beat both Nigeria and North Korea to advance to the quarter-final, where they
defeated Sweden 2–0 after extra time. In the semi-final, Germany again met Brazil. Birgit Prinz scored in the 10th
minute, but the German team lost 1–4 after conceding three goals to Brazilian counter-attacks in the second half.
They beat Japan 2–0 for the bronze medal, with Fatmire Bajramaj scoring both goals.[34] The third consecutive
semi-final loss at the Olympics was seen as a disappointment by both the players and the German press.[35] The
team's overall performance and head coach Silvia Neid were harshly criticised in the media.[36]
Germany qualified for the 2009 European Championship in Finland winning all eight games and scoring 34 goals.
They beat Norway, France and Iceland in the group stage to advance to the quarter-final, where they won 2–1
against Italy. After trailing Norway at half-time in the semi-final, the German team fought back to a 3–1 victory. On
10 September 2009, they defeated England 6–2 for their seventh European trophy. Birgit Prinz and Inka Grings
scored twice, with Melanie Behringer and Kim Kulig also scoring.[37] Grings retained her award as the
tournament's top scorer from 2005, while Germany extended their winning streak at the European Championship
finals to a 19-match run dating back to 1997.[38]
Germany hosted the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup and won the three games
on the group stage, over Canada, France and Nigeria. On the quarterfinals, the
team suffered an upset by Japan, who won on overtime with a goal by Karina
Maruyama. The defeat broke the Germans' streak of sixteen undefeated games
at the World Cup.[39] By failing to finish among the top two UEFA teams,
Germany was unable to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[40]
Fara Williams calmly slots a penalty
At the 2013 European Championship in Sweden, the Germans won their sixth
beyond Nadine Angerer at the 2015
straight continental title, with the decisive game being a 1–0 victory over
FIFA Women's World Cup, to inflict
Norway. Goalkeeper Nadine Angerer, who stopped two penalties during the
Germany's first ever defeat by
England
final, was chosen as the tournament's best player.[41] The 2015 FIFA Women's
World Cup had Germany again reaching the top four. In the semi-final against
the United States, Célia Šašić, who wound up as the tournament's top scorer,
missed a penalty, and afterwards goals by Carli Lloyd and Kelley O'Hara lead to an American victory.[42] The third
place match saw the Germans lose their first ever match to England after 21 contests, due to a penalty kick by Fara
Williams during extra time.[43]
At the 2019 Women's World Cup Germany were in Group B with China PR, South Africa, and Spain. They topped
the group with three wins and defeated Nigeria in the Round of 16.[44] Germany was eliminated by Sweden in the
quarter-finals, losing to them for the first time in 24 years and conceding their only goals of the tournament and so
failed to qualify for the Olympic football tournament of Tokyo 2020.[45]
Team image
Nicknames
The Germany women's national football team has been known or nicknamed as "Die Nationalelf (The National
Eleven)".
Kits and crest
The German women's national football team wears white shirts with black shorts and white
socks, following the tradition of the German men's team – black and white are the colours of
Prussia.[46] The current change kit is all dark green.[47] In the past, Germany also used green
shirts with white shorts and green socks as the away kit, as well as a red and black kit, with black
shorts and red socks.[48] Emblem for the
Olympic
The women's national team originally played with the emblem of the German men's team, a Games
variation of the DFB logo with the Federal Eagle of Germany (Bundesadler) and three stars at
the top for the men's 1954, 1974 and 1990 World Cup titles. Since their first Women's World Cup
win in 2003, the team displays its own World Cup titles; initially with one star,[49] and since 2007, with two stars
at the top of the emblem.[50] While being reigning world champions, Germany also displayed the newly created
"FIFA Women's World Champions Badge" on their shirts from 2009 until 2011 when they were succeeded by
Japan.[51]
For the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, the team kit featured white socks, black shorts, and a primarily white
jersey with a distorted version of a waving German flag rendered in black, red, and gold.[52]
The current kit features a white crewneck jersey with a black horizontal pinstripe and the colors of the German flag
at the sleeves.[53]
In accordance with the rules of the International Olympic Committee,[54]

Germany does not wear its official uniform with the logo of the German
Football Association while competing at the Summer Olympics. Instead, the
Verse of the national anthem on the
DFB badge is replaced by the coat of arms of Germany.[50] Like all DFB squads,
collar.
the women's national team is supplied by Adidas,[47] which had provided a
specifically designed female football jersey since 1999.[55] The team's main
sponsor is the German insurance company Allianz.[56]
Home stadium
The German national football team has no national stadium. Like the men, the women's team play their home
matches in different stadiums throughout the country. As of June 2011, they have played in 87 different German
cities. Most home games have been held in Osnabrück with six matches, followed by Ulm (five games), and
Bochum, Kaiserslautern, Koblenz, Lüdenscheid, Rheine, Siegen and Weil am Rhein (three games each).[57] The
first home match in former East Germany was played in Aue in May 1991.[58]
In the 1980s and 1990s, home matches were mostly played in smaller towns
with no professional football clubs. As the team became more successful,
especially after the World Cup win in 2003, the number of spectators rose
accordingly. Today, the team usually plays in stadiums with 10,000 to 25,000
seats.[59] The ten largest German cities have only hosted five international
matches. The team have played twice in Frankfurt and Berlin, and once
Hamburg. Bremen, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Essen, Cologne, Munich and
Stuttgart have never hosted an international match of the women's team.[57]
Germany playing Brazil before a Outside Germany, they have played the most games in Faro, Portugal
crowd of 44,825 in Frankfurt. (10 matches), and Guangzhou, China (six matches), the host cities of the annual
Algarve Cup and the Four Nations Tournament respectively. They have also
played five games in Albufeira, Portugal (also an Algarve Cup venue), and four
times in Minneapolis in the United States.[57]
The record attendance for Germany was 73,680 in the 2011 Women's World Cup opening game against Canada at
the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.[60] That game also set a new European record in women's football. Away from
home, the team's crowd record was 54,642 in the 1999 Women's World Cup quarter-final against the United States
at the Jack Kent Cooke Stadium in Landover.[61]
Acceptance and popularity
For most of the 20th century, women's football was a niche sport in Germany and was frowned upon. When the
DFB appointed Gero Bisanz to coach the newly founded women's national team, he was initially very reluctant
about his assignment and feared it would harm his reputation.[59] Winning the 1989 European Championship was
the team's first international success, but it had little lasting effect on their popularity. As a gift for the first
European trophy, every player received a tea set, which is often cited as an example of male chauvinism and
general lack of interest in the women's national team at that time.[59] This attitude within the German Football
Association has changed considerably in the last two decades, in particular during the term of Theo Zwanziger as
DFB president, an outspoken supporter of women's football.[62]
Each member of the 2003 Women's World Cup
squad received a prearranged bonus of 15,000 euros for winning the tournament; four years later the players
received 50,000 euros for their successful title defense.[63] In 2009, one million of the 6.7 million DFB members
were female.[64]
The 2003 World Cup title marked the breakthrough for the women's national football team in Germany. The final
was watched by 10.48 million viewers on German television (a 33.2 percent market share)[65] and the German
team was welcomed home by almost 10,000 fans at Frankfurt's city hall.[66] Later that year, they were honoured as
the 2003 German Sports Team of the Year.[67] Nia Künzer's World Cup winning golden goal was voted Germany's
2003 Goal of the Year, the first time the award was won by a female player.[68] Since 2005, almost all of the
women's national football team's matches have been shown live on German television.[69]
The final of the 2007 Women's World Cup was seen by 9.05 million television
viewers (a 50.5 percent market share).[65] After the team returned to Germany,
they were celebrated by a crowd of 20,000 in Frankfurt.[66] In December 2007,
all players of the World Cup squad received the Silberne Lorbeerblatt (Silver
Laurel Leaf), the highest state decoration for athletes in Germany. National
coach Silvia Neid was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon by German
president Horst Köhler.[70]
In 2009, the team's six home matches had an average attendance of 22,753.[71]
In a survey of German football fans, 65 percent of the male and 62 percent of Arrival in Frankfurt after winning the
the female respondents said they were interested in women's football.[72] 2007 Women's World Cup
However, this popularity is mostly limited to international matches. Although
the number of spectators in the women's Bundesliga has more than doubled
since 2003,[73] the average attendance in the 2007–08 season (887)[74] was still less than three percent of that of
the men's Bundesliga (38,612).[75]
Women's football is socially accepted in Germany, although one of the main points of criticism remains the alleged
lack of quality compared to the men's game. The German women's national team has played several exhibition
matches against male teams, most notably losing 0–3 to the VfB Stuttgart Under-17 squad in preparation for the
2003 World Cup.[62] Most German players dismiss comparisons between the quality of men's and women's
football; Renate Lingor has said they are "two entirely different sports".[76] Players such as Simone Laudehr,
Ariane Hingst and Melanie Behringer have stated that men's football is played at a faster pace, but also has more
interruptions and brutal tackling than the women's game.[55][77] Linda Bresonik has said she generally prefers to
watch men's football.[77]

Former German international Martina Voss-Tecklenburg is the current head coach of the German women's
national football team. The coach's official title is DFB-Trainer and he or she is employed by the German Football
Association.[79]
Gero Bisanz (1982–1996) was the first coach of the women's national
team. He selected his first squad in September 1982.[10] At the same time,
he also worked as the chief instructor for DFB coaching training from 1971
to 2000.[8] Bisanz led the German team to three European Championships
in 1989, 1991 and 1995.[80] Under Bisanz, Germany also was runner-up at
the 1995 Women's World Cup.[18] He resigned after the German team was
eliminated in Round 1 at the 1996 Summer Olympics.[81] With his assistant
since 1983, Tina Theune, he built a scouting system and was responsible
for a new DFB youth programme.[10] Head coach Martina Voss-
Tina Theune (1996–2005) took over as head coach after the 1996 Summer Tecklenburg
Olympics. She was the first woman to acquire the highest German football
coaching license.[20] Theune was responsible for three European
Championship titles in 1997, 2001 and 2005.[80] During her time as head coach, Germany won the bronze
medal at the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics.[82] Her biggest success was the 2003 Women's World Cup
title.[27] Theune is the most successful national coach to date.[20] She benefited from an effective youth
programme and integrated several Under-19 players into the nation team. Theune stepped down after winning
the European Championship in 2005.[20]
Silvia Neid (2005–2016) was the team's assistant coach from 1996 to 2005 and the head coach of the
German Under-19 team, who won the 2004 U-19 Women's World Championship.[83] In July 2005, she became
the team's head coach and the 2006 Algarve Cup marked her first tournament win.[31] By winning the 2007
Women's World Cup, Neid became the first German national coach (men's and women's team) to win the
World Cup at the first attempt.[32] At her first Summer Olympics as a coach in 2008, Germany won the bronze
medal for a third time. Neid was also responsible for Germany's seventh European Championship in 2009. She
was signed until 2016, and her assistant was Ulrike Ballweg.[79]
On 30 March 2015, DFB announced that Steffi Jones (2016–2018) would become the new German head
coach in 2016.[84]
Horst Hrubesch (2018) took over as the interim head coach in 2018.[85]
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg (2019– ) then became the new coach in 2019.

Birgit Prinz, a former team captain who retired after the 2011 World Cup,[90]
holds the record for Germany for appearances, having played 214 times from
1994 to 2011. She is one of 21 German players to have reached 100 caps.[89]
Kerstin Stegemann is second, having played 191 times. Bettina Wiegmann,
Germany's team captain during the 2003 World Cup win, comes fourth with
154 games.[89] Prinz exceeded Wiegmann's record as the most capped player in
November 2006.[91] Prinz also held the record for most appearances by a
European player until 15 June 2021, when she was surpassed by Sweden's
Caroline Seger[92]
Wiegmann and Prinz have successively been awarded the title of honorary
captain of the German women's national football team.[93][94]
The title of Germany's highest goalscorer is also held by Prinz. She scored her
first goal in July 1994 against Canada and finished her career with 128 goals
(averaging 0.60 goals per game).[88] Heidi Mohr, as well as being the second-
highest scorer, is also the most prolific with 83 goals coming from 104 games
(averaging 0.80 goals per game).[88] Two players share the record for goals Birgit Prinz is the most capped
scored in one match: Conny Pohlers scored five goals in October 2001 against German player with 214 caps, and
Portugal,[95] and Inka Grings scored five times in February 2004, again facing the top ever scorer with 128.
Portugal.[96] Silvia Neid, the former German national coach, is the sixth highest
goalscorer with 48 goals in 111 games.[88]
The largest margin of victory achieved by Germany is 17–0 against Kazakhstan during a European Championship
qualifying game in November 2011.[97] The record defeat, a 0–6 deficit against the United States, occurred during a
friendly match in March 1996.[98]
Former goalkeeper Nadine Angerer has the most appearances for a goalkeeper, with 145 games as goal keeper (89
without conceding a goal) and one game as a substitute as defender.[99]
Silke Rottenberg is second with 126 caps
and 68 games without conceding a goal.[100] Bettina Wiegmann holds the record of 14 goals from penalty kicks;
Renate Lingor comes in second with 8 goals.[101] Tina Wunderlich scored the team's only own goal in the semi-final
of the 2000 Summer Olympics against Norway; it was the game's only goal.[102]
The German team also holds several international records. In 2007, they were the first to win two consecutive
Women's World Cup titles and they achieved the then-biggest win in tournament history by beating Argentina 11–
0,[33] Germany is also the only team to win the women's World Cup without conceding a goal and the only country
to win both World Cups.[32][103] With 14 goals, Prinz became the overall top goalscorer at the Women's World Cup
in 2007,[33] and she and Brazilian Marta are the only women to have received the FIFA World Player of the Year
award at least three times.[104]
Competitive record
Germany is one of the most successful nations at the FIFA Women's World Cup, having won the tournament twice
and finishing runner-up once.[105] The German team won the World Cup in 2003 and 2007.[27][32] At the first
World Cup in 1991, they finished in fourth place.[15] In 1995, Germany reached the World Cup final, but were
defeated by Norway.[18] The team's worst results were quarter-final losses to the United States in 1999,[22] Japan in
2011[39] and Sweden in 2019. Overall, the German team has appeared in three Women's World Cup finals, and is a
five-time semi-finalist. They have participated in every Women's World Cup and have a 30–5–9 win–draw–loss
record.[33]

Olympic Games
Women's football debuted at the 1996 Summer Olympics and Bettina Wiegmann scored the first Olympic goal in
the opening game of the tournament. However, Germany failed to progress to the knockout stage and was
eliminated after Round 1.[19] Four years later the German team won the bronze medal at the 2000 Summer
Olympics.[24] They again finished third at both the 2004 and the 2008 Summer Olympics.[29][34]
The German team has qualified for all Women's Olympic Football Tournaments until 2008. However, they failed to
qualify for the 2012 tournament as UEFA used the 2011 World Cup for qualification, and Germany ended below
France and Sweden.[106] The German team beat Sweden in the Olympics final in Rio in 2016 to obtain their first
Olympic gold medal.[107]
