Anouk will be strengthening our defence with the number 35 on her back. The Dutch European Champion (2017) and World Cup runner-up (2019) has played for years in her homeland at Twente Enschede, in France with HSC Montpellier, and most recently in Portugal with Sporting Braga. With her international experience both on and off the pitch, she will be a real asset to our team. The 36-year-old is returning to Germany with her move to Viktoria: Anouk took her first steps in professional football with FFC Heike Rheine in the 1st Bundesliga. It’s been a while, so we’re even more excited to welcome her now to Berlin! With Laura, a versatile midfielder is joining our team. The 28-year-old Spaniard was also most recently with SC Braga in Portugal and will be wearing the number 53 for Viktoria from now on.
But they’re not just strengthening us on the pitch: Anouk and Laura have also focused on personal development throughout their professional careers and will work as Talent Development & Strategic Football Partnerships Managers at FC Viktoria Berlin. Together with Ariane Hingst, they will be developing a concept for promoting young female players, as well as establishing cooperations and partnerships with clubs, associations, and organisations.
On and off the pitch, we’ve gained two true game changers! A warm welcome to both of you!
