The Germany women’s team have plenty of positives to look back on in 2015. Fourth place at the World Cup in Canada ensured their spot at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. In addition, all signs so far point to a straightforward qualification to the European Championship in 2016. An ever-present figure in the side throughout the past year has once again been Lena Goeßling.
Of the 18 international fixtures in 2015, the VfL Wolfsburg midfielder and cup winner was involved in 15, scoring twice and putting on consistently solid performances. Something that was no secret to DFB.de users.
In the past few weeks we, and the national team Fan Club powered by Coca-Cola, asked the question who the 2015 Germany Women’s Footballer of the Year was. Fans had 14 players to choose from and Goeßling was who they chose. Of the 51,369 votes, a huge 33.8% (17,368) votes were for the 29-year-old.
Bayern München’s star striker Melanie Leupolz came close second with 29.4% of the votes. At just 21-years-old, she has already amassed an incredible 39 caps for Germany. Third place went to Wolfsburg’s Alex Popp with 7.1% of the votes.
