Selina Ostermeier remains in the best hands until 2027: Leverkusen's defensive!

Selina Ostermeier, the 26-year-old central defender, extended her contract with the Bayer 04 Leverkusen football club until June 30, 2027. This decision, which was announced on January 19, 2025, provides for a two -year extension of its contract previously run until the summer of 2024. Sporty director Achim Feifel praises Ostermeier's development and emphasizes its stability on the defensive. "It has developed enormously and has important characteristics for our team," said Feififel in this context.

Ostermeier has been playing for Bayer 04 Leverkusen since 2022 after being changed by SGS Essen. Since her change, she has already completed 42 competitive games for the Werkelf and scored a goal. In the current season she is one of the regulars under coach Roberto Pätzold and has played ten out of eleven possible games in the Google Pixel Women's Bundesliga right from the start. A single game missed her due to a yellow lock. Her promise underlines her positive assessment of the conditions at Bayer 04, in particular the trust of the trainer and the team.

Stability and development of the Leverkusen women's football team

Bayer 04 joined women's football on July 1, 2008 after the women's football department of TuS Cologne RRH. was taken over. The roots of the departments originally come from SSG 09 Bergisch Gladbach, a club that dominated German women's football in the 1970s and 1980s and has nine German championships. Despite these historical successes, Bergisch Gladbach experienced a sporting descent in the following years until the women's football department moved to Bayer 04 in 2008.

Since the foundation of the women's department by Bayer 04, the team has developed further. Between 2010 and 2017 and again since the 2018/19 season, the team plays in the first division. In the 2020/21 season, Bayer 04 Leverkusen achieved the best placement in club history with fifth place.

The continuity and development that Selina Ostermeier now shows with its contract extension is an important sign of the ambitions of the Leverkusen women's team. A strong team with talented players could achieve further success in the women's Bundesliga in the coming years. Media-Sportservice reports that the club management is optimistic about the future challenges.

The clubs in the women's Bundesliga, including Bayer 04 Leverkusen, are faced with the challenge of expanding their sporting success, which is decisively supported by the consolidation of key players such as Ostermeier. Sport1 emphasizes that the development of the player and the team increasingly affects the interest of the fans and the medial attention.
