Written by Oluwaseun Oyediji
Former German national soccer player Anja Mittag is back on the pitch more than a year and a half after her official farewell.
More Details
As the portal “RB Live” reports, the 36-year-old will play for the regional league team SV Eintracht Leipzig-Süd. “The idea of playing a little more didn’t come to me until last September, October,” said Mittag, who reported to Eintracht herself: “I just want to keep fit a bit without feeling like I’m at home having to be present at every training session in order to be able to play at the weekend.”
Mittag has been in training at her club since last fall. But the 158-time national player was still banned from appearances. Her new club ranks eighth in the middle of the table.
It is still unclear whether Mittag will play in the next home game against Türkiyemspor Berlin on March 27th.
