Athlete Laura Wontorra marks her return to sports on RTL platform
Get ready to see Laura Wontorra back in the sports world by your side as the beloved presenter prepares to hit the touchline for RTL! The Cologne-based private broadcaster has announced that Wontorra will take up the role of reporting on the games of the German national football team during the World Cup qualifiers, rotating duties with Florian König.
Wontorra expressed her delight at making a comeback in the sports field on TV, saying, "I'm thrilled to be back in sports at RTL in front of the camera - and especially because it's about the national team. Being part of the DFB team's journey to the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico is a great honor." She adds, "Sharing this adventure with my fellow colleagues like Florian König, Wolff Fuss, Lothar Matthäus, or even director Knut Fleischmann is an additional privilege. Together, we'll create some unforgettable moments as we follow the team of Julian Nagelsmann."
RTL's sports director Frank Robens praises Wontorra's "extraordinary blend of expertise, energy, and lightness" as an "absolute gain" for the team. "Her versatility is her superpower," Robens says.
While Wontorra made a name for herself in sports journalism back in 2011 at Sky Deutschland, she later moved on to Sport1 as both a moderator and field reporter. Since 2016, she's been a cornerstone of RTL's entertainment lineup, notably as part of the "Ninja Warrior Germany" presenting team. In 2017, she began covering football programming, such as "100% Bundesliga" and the broadcasts of games featuring the German national team and the UEFA Europa League on RTL and NITRO. A move to DAZN for sports reporting in 2021 didn't deter her from continuing to host non-sport entertainment shows for RTL, like "Grill den Henssler" and "Germany's Got Talent."
As she prepares for her return to RTL's sports sector, Wontorra is set to bring many exciting moments to football fans as they follow the national team through the pivotal World Cup qualifying stages with a beloved and charismatic sports presenter by their side. A fan-favorite, Wontorra is ready to recapture the magic of sports broadcasting and lead viewers through this significant phase of the German national team's journey [1][3][4].
