Thank you from FCB Women: an overview of all the players leaving | OneFootball

Ahead of their final Bundesliga home game of the 2025/26 season against Eintracht Frankfurt (Saturday, 9 May, 15.45 CEST), FC Bayern Women will bid farewell to Mala Grohs, Carolin Simon, Georgia Stanway, Natalia Padilla Bidas and assistant coach Kjetil Lone.

In addition, ahead of the clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, Lea Schüller and Tuva Hansen – who both departed the club during the winter break – will be given a fitting send-off in front of the home fans at the FC Bayern Campus. FC Bayern would like to say: Thank you and servus!

All the best, Mala!

Mala Grohs is set to leave FC Bayern Women after seven highly successful years. The Münster-born keeper moved to the Bavarian capital from VfL Bochum in 2019 and has made 95 appearances for the double winners since then, winning five Bundesliga titles, one DFB Cup and two Supercups.

Dear Mala, thank you very much and all the best for the future!

Danke and take care, Caro!

Carolin Simon has been pulling on the FC Bayern shirt since 2019, having joined the club from Lyon that same year. In 167 competitive appearances to date, the full-back with the magical left foot has scored 19 goals and shaped the Munich side’s playing style over the years. With FC Bayern Women, she has so far celebrated five Bundesliga titles, one DFB Cup win and two Supercup triumphs.

Dear Caro, thank you so much for your tireless commitment, your passion and your loyalty to FC Bayern – all the best for the future!

Thank you & all the Best, Georgia!

Georgia Stanway has been rocking the midfield for FC Bayern Women since 2022 – and in that time has become an absolutely key player. In 125 appearances to date, the England international has racked up an impressive 30 goals and shaped our team’s game with her energy, fighting spirit and relentless desire to win. The two-time European champion brought international class to Munich and won the Bundesliga in all four of her seasons here. That's on top of two Supercup victories and a DFB Cup triumph in 2025.

Dear Georgia, thank you for your energy, your mindset and all the special moments you’ve had in an FCB shirt – all the best for the future!

Servus and thank you, Natalia!

Natalia Padilla Bidas joined FC Bayern Women in 2023, having previously played for Servette FC Chênois Féminin. To gain match experience at the highest level, the Poland international was initially loaned out to 1. FC Köln for a season and then spent a further season on loan at Sevilla. The striker has made 17 appearances for FCB Women to date and has scored six goals. In that time, she has won both the Supercup and the Bundesliga with the Munich side.

Dear Natalia, thank you so much for your commitment, your goals and your efforts in the FC Bayern shirt – we wish you all the very best in your future endeavours!

All the best for the future, Kjetil!

Kjetil Lone has been part of the FC Bayern Women’s coaching staff as assistant coach since 2024 and in that time has shaped the day-to-day work on the pitch with great expertise, meticulousness and passion. With the team, the Norwegian celebrated the Bundesliga titles in 2024, 2025 and 2026, the DFB Cup win in 2025 and the Supercup triumphs in 2024 and 2025. With his eye for detail, calm manner and intuition, Lone helped develop the team and consistently keep them performing at the highest level.

Dear Kjetil, thank you very much for your outstanding work, your dedication behind the scenes and your loyalty to FC Bayern – we wish you all the best for the future!

Danke Lea & Tuva!

In addition to all the players leaving the Munich side at the end of the season, Lea Schüller and Tuva Hansen will also be given a send-off on Saturday. Schüller joined FC Bayern Women in 2020 and, with her clinical finishing, made a significant impact on our team’s attacking play. She scored 103 goals for the Munich side in 181 competitive appearances before moving to Manchester United at the end of December. Hansen won six trophies in three years with FC Bayern Women and has been plying her trade at West Ham United since January.

Dear Lea, dear Tuva, thank you very much for your hard work, your passion and your dedication to FC Bayern – we look forward to welcoming you back to the Campus this weekend!
