Alexandra Popp Biography

Alexandra Popp is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on April 6, 1991 in Witten, Germany. Alexandra Popp (German pronunciation: [alɛˈksandʁa ˈpɔp] ; born 6 April 1991) is a German footballer and Olympic gold medalist. She plays as a striker for VfL Wolfsburg and the German national team. She previously played for FCR 2001 Duisburg and 1. FFC Recklinghausen. She was twice named German Footballer of the Year in 2014 and 2016, and in February 2019 was named captain of the national team.

In her first year at Duisburg, Popp won the Double: the 2009 UEFA Women’s Cup and the 2009 German Cup. She was awarded the 2009 Fritz Walter medal in silver as the year’s second best female junior player. One year later, she again claimed the German Cup title and finished runner-up with Duisburg in the 2009–10 Bundesliga season. Because Duisburg had major injury worries during the 2010-11 season, Popp played the majority of matches at left back.

Popp was then called up for the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup squad. She played in all four games for the host nation, coming on as a substitute, but the Germans placed only sixth, defeated in extra time by eventual champions Japan. Later that year, she played in the European Championship qualifier against Kazakhstan, where she and teammate Célia Šašić (nee Okoyino da Mbabi) each contributed four goals to a record 17-0 victory. With this achievement she became the seventh German woman to score four goals in an international game.

In the 2012-13 season she moved with her club teammate Luisa Wensing to VfL Wolfsburg. In her first season there she won the Treble (association football) with the Frauen-Bundesliga championship, the DFB-Pokal Frauen and the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

At the 2008 UEFA U-17 Women’s Championship, Popp won her first international title with Germany, scoring the team’s second goal in the final. The same year, she reached third-place at the 2008 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. In February 2010, Popp made her debut for Germany’s senior national team in a friendly match against North Korea. Less than two weeks later she scored her first two international goals at the 2010 Algarve Cup in a 7–0 win over Finland.

FFC Recklinghausen and played three years before joining the Bundesliga side FCR 2001 Duisburg in 2008. She had also been approached by French champions Olympique Lyonnais at the time, but chose Duisburg. Popp made her Bundesliga debut in September 2008 against Herforder SV and scored her first two goals three weeks later in an 8–0 win over TSV Crailsheim.

Popp attended Gesamtschule Berger Feld in Gelsenkirchen, one of four facilities certified as “elite schools of football” by the German Football Association. She was the school’s sole female pupil and could only attend courtesy of a special permit. She studied and trained with junior players of the German men’s Bundesliga side FC Schalke 04. Popp left school after the 12th grade with a Fachabitur diploma. Following a one-year internship at a physiotherapist, Popp successfully completed a three-year apprenticeship to become a zookeeper at Tierpark Essehof in Lehre.

Popp returned to junior competition for the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, which was held on home soil in Germany. She won the title with the German team and was the tournament’s break-out star, being honoured as the best player and top goalscorer. She scored in every game, and with ten goals she holds the scoring record for that tournament (together with Sydney Leroux and Christine Sinclair).
