SGS Essen have been a permanent fixture in the Bundesliga since 2004, making a name for themselves primarily through their excellent promotion of young talent. The current German Olympic squad includes Stina Johannes, Nicole Anyomi and Lea Schüller, three players who either came through the SGS youth ranks or took their first steps in professional football there. They are joined by midfielder Lena Oberdorf, who played for Essen from 2018 to 2020 but missed the Games due to a knee injury. Linda Dallmann and Jana Feldkamp – part of the extended national team squad – also come from the Essen talent factory. Thanks to the training and transfer of numerous talented players, SGS are one of the few clubs to be able to compete successfully in the Bundesliga without the backing of a strong men’s club.
