An exceptional athlete overcomes all odds on and off the pitch
Alexandra Popp is the outstanding soccer player of her generation. She won all the major trophies in club soccer with VfL Wolfsburg, was an Olympic champion with the national team, and captained Germany to the 2022 European Championship final. Time and again in her career, the exceptional striker has had to deal with setbacks, yet she has always gone her own way. But it's not only on the pitch that she inspires with her presence but also off it. She never minces words, she points out grievances in women's soccer and stands up against discrimination. In this way, Alexandra Popp shows that it still exists, the authentic soccer that has to do not only with money but with passion for the beautiful game.
