Why does Landenberger fit Wolfsburg’s style?

After talks with Wolfsburg’s management, Landenberger said: «I immediately felt I was a perfect fit for VfL Wolfsburg.» Her ambitions align with the club’s – above all returning to the Champions League and winning trophies again. Her defensive experience and international pedigree are exactly what the Wolves need right now.

What’s next for the women’s team?

Wolfsburg’s women’s team kick off the new season with clear ambitions. They currently lead the 2. Bundesliga – with zero points but also zero goals conceded so far. Their next fixture comes on 27 February 2027 against SV Darmstadt 98. Landenberger will be key in shoring up the backline and tightening up the defense.
