Sydney Lohmann has extended her contract at FC Bayern until 30 June 2026. The Germany international joined the FCB Women U17s side in 2016 and has since gone on to make 137 appearances in all competitions for the first team, scoring 29 goals. She's won two Bundesliga titles with the Munich Frauen to date.
Homegrown talent
"FC Bayern is home to me," said Lohmann. "I feel very attached to the club, it was an emotional decision. I've made a lot of friendships here, my family aren't far from Munich and I knew I wanted to continue to be a part here."
"Sydney can inspire a whole team"
Bianca Rech, head of women's football at FC Bayern, is pleased about the continued collaboration: "Sydney's contract extension is hugely signifcant for us. Sydney has a lot of energy and is a very fast and dynamic player. She can provide moments of magic on the pitch and is capable of inspiring a whole team with her style of play."
Lohmann's efforts in the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain in the 2021/22 season are particularly memorable. The midfielder is renowned for her presence in crucial games, as head coach Alexander Straus also knows. "She usually shows her best performances in important games," he described. "She wins a lot of balls and is just as quick on the ball as without it. Sydney had a number of other options but she loves the club, the city and the team. There's a deep, mutual trust between her and FC Bayern, and we're pleased to be continuing our work together over the next two years."
From SV Lengenfeld via VfL Kaufering and SC Fürstenfeldbruck, Lohmann's path took her to Bayern at the age of 16. She was 20 when she scored Bayern Women's 100th Bundesliga goal in a match against Essen. That was folllowed by the league titles in 2021 and 2023. Success is possible again this season in the league and DFB Cup. "Two trophies is still our aim this season," she said. "I think we can achieve that with our team. I bring a lot of dynamism and energy, which I want to use to help the team and contribute to success."
Lohmann personally announced her extension to fans after the home game against RB Leipzig:
