Nobody has more appearances: BVB announce key contract extension | OneFootball

On Friday morning (September 25), BVB announced an important contract extension. No player in the current squad has made more competitive appearances.

The BVB women have extended Ann-Sophie Vogel’s contract early by another two years. The winger’s new deal now runs until the summer of 2029. The club is thus setting the course for the future.

Ann-Sophie Vogel joined Borussia Dortmund from VfL Bochum in the summer of 2024. Since then, her career has taken a steep upward turn. In her first season with the Black and Yellows, she won the treble of the Westphalian Championship, the District Cup, and the Westphalian Cup. The 28-year-old has now become the record appearance-maker in BVB’s current squad with 63 competitive matches. With 28 assists over the past two years, she is also the squad’s current top provider.

“Ann-Sophie is one of the longest-serving players at BVB and, with her mentality, commitment, and physical presence, has developed not only into an important pillar of the team but also into a great role model,” sporting director Ralf Kellermann praised the defender on the Borussia Dortmund homepage. “That is why we are very happy to have set the course early to continue on the successful path we have taken together with her,” he added.

The player herself is also happy about signing her new contract: “Something really big is being built here, and it fills me with pride and joy that I can help shape this journey. I’m delighted that the coaching staff and those in charge are showing faith in me and see something in me that can continue to help the club and the team in the future.”

As the reason for the contract extension, Ann-Sophie Vogel said that the last “two years here have been great.” She said she had “really enjoyed it both on and off the pitch. That’s why I’m staying and hopefully will go all the way to the Bundesliga.”

The goal of earning promotion to Germany’s top division is ambitious, but the 28-year-old knows what will matter in the Bundesliga mission. The aim is “to give it everything over the next two years so that in a few years we can say Borussia Dortmund has arrived where we want to be.” She then added: “Helping shape this journey fills me with pride and joy.”
