Eintracht Frankfurt has named Babett Peter as its new sporting director. The former Germany international will take up the position on January 1, 2026, with a contract running until summer 2028. Her appointment follows a decorated career both on and off the pitch.

Peter enjoyed a highly successful playing career. She earned 118 caps for Germany, winning Olympic gold in 2016, the World Cup in 2007, and the European Championship in 2009. At club level, she claimed eight German league titles and a Champions League trophy while playing for Turbine Potsdam, 1. FFC Frankfurt, and VfL Wolfsburg.

After retiring, Peter moved into football management. She gained experience in the United States as assistant general manager for Chicago Stars FC in the top U.S. league. This role provided her with key administrative and leadership skills before returning to Germany. Her new position at Eintracht Frankfurt marks a return to a familiar environment. The club, where she previously played, will now benefit from her expertise in both elite competition and football operations.

Peter’s arrival brings a wealth of experience to Eintracht Frankfurt. Her leadership will begin in early 2026, with a focus on shaping the club’s sporting direction. The contract, lasting until 2028, ensures stability in the role for the coming years.
