Sydney Lohmann is leaving FC Bayern Women after nine years to join Women's Super League side Manchester City for the next season. The midfielder moved to Munich in 2016 and became a regular in the squad of the double winners. The 25-year-old won four Bundesliga titles as well as the DFB Cup and the Supercup last season with FC Bayern Women.
Lohmann: FC Bayern will always have a firm place in my heart
Lohmann bids farewell from the club, the team and the fans with words of thanks: “The last nine years have a very special significance in my life, I’m incredibly grateful to FC Bayern. I’ve learned an incredible lot in this time, not only in terms of sports but also as a person, I’ve had many wonderful moments – from my Bundesliga debut in 2017 to the title in 2021 and the double this year. I’d like to thank everyone who has accompanied me on this path – the club, the team and the great fans. Even though I wasn’t able to say goodbye on the pitch, I hope we’ll see again in the near future and that I can say Servus in person. FC Bayern will always have a firm place in my heart.”
Rech: An important person in German women’s football
FC Bayern Women’s sporting director Bianca Rech thanks Lohmann on behalf of the whole club: “We’d like to thank Sydney for everything she has done for FC Bayern. She has grown with us, becoming a well-known face of FC Bayern Women and an important person in German women’s football. She created special moments in matches and inspired fans and her teammates with her tireless commitment, both on and off the pitch. We’ll stay connected with Sydney and wish her all the best for the future!”
Six trophies with FC Bayern Women
Born on 19 June 2000, Lohmann joined FC Bayern from SC Fürstenfeldbruck in 2016 and went on to play for all FC Bayern Women youth teams. She made her Bundesliga debut in 2017, making 167 competitive appearances for FCB and scoring 31 goals. The 25-year-old’s goal against SGS Essen was FC Bayern Women’s 1,000th Bundesliga goal. After winning the Bundesliga in 2021, 2023 and 2024, the Germany international crowned her spell in the Bavarian capital with the historic first double in the history of FC Bayern Women last season.
Lohmann made her senior Germany debut in 2018 and went on to make 39 appearances. Her greatest successes include the Bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, the runners-up finish at the Euro 2022 and the two U17 Euro titles in 2016 and 2017.
Thank you very much for your commitment at FC Bayern, Syd, and all the best for the future!
