Lena Oberdorf, born on December 19, 2001, in Gevelsberg, Germany, displayed athletic talent from a young age, playing on and captaining boys’ football teams. She began her youth career at TuS Ennepetal before moving to TSG Sprockhövel, where she continued playing on boys’ teams until 2018. In November 2017, Oberdorf signed with Bundesliga club SGS Essen, making her debut in September 2018. She immediately made an impact, scoring two goals in her DfB-Pokal debut and two more in her first Frauen-Bundesliga match.
Her career progressed with a move to VfL Wolfsburg ahead of the 2020–21 season, where she secured multiple DFB-Pokal titles and a Frauen-Bundesliga championship. During her four-year tenure at Wolfsburg, Oberdorf established herself as a prominent talent in European football, noted for her game intelligence, physical presence, and ball control. Her performances earned her considerable individual recognition, including a fourth-place finish in the 2022 Ballon d’Or Féminin and third in the 2021–22 UEFA Women’s Player of the Year ranking. She joined Bayern Munich in February 2024, a transfer that made her the most expensive female German footballer in history.
Internationally, Oberdorf has represented Germany across multiple youth levels before making her senior national team debut in 2019 at the age of 17. She played a key role in Germany reaching the final of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022, where she was recognized as the Young Player of the Tournament. Despite recent injuries, including a severe knee injury that sidelined her for part of the 2024-25 season, Oberdorf has consistently demonstrated her impact on the field, contributing to team successes and earning individual accolades like the Gold Fritz Walter Medal in 2019.
