National soccer player Hendrich transfers to a club in Chicago
Exciting news hits the soccer world as Germany's Kathrin Hendrich signs with the American league's Chicago Stars FC!
The 33-year-old powerhouse defender has inked a two-year deal with Chicago Stars FC, with an option for an extra season. After announcing her departure from VfL Wolfsburg, Hendrich is eager to take on this new adventure in the United States.
Hendrich's impressive soccer resume includes stints at FC Bayern and 1. FFC Frankfurt, culminating in a Champions League victory in 2015. Adding to her list of accomplishments, she has won the Bundesliga championship and cup four times with Wolfsburg in 2022 and secured an Olympic bronze medal at the Paris Games.
With her determination, experience, and skills, Hendrich cannot wait to team up with her new American counterparts. "I'm utterly thrilled to play for the Stars this summer," she said. "I can't bloody wait to meet my teammates, and I'm frickin' excited for the new challenge and to perform in front of our fans!"
While Chicago Stars FC is officially known as the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the team has a history of occasional branding as "Chicago Stars FC". The Red Stars have finished as runners-up twice in the NWSL Championship, in 2019 and 2021, but have yet to clinch a league title in recent years.
The expansion of top-tier talent like Hendrich could change the game for Chicago Stars FC, but at this point, it remains to be seen how her signing will affect the team's performance. Fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation and the impact of this powerhouse defender on the field.
Until then, let's cheer for Kathrin Hendrich on her American adventure and admire her impressive soccer journey! Go Stars (or should I say, Go Red Stars?)!
