Nadine Angerer (born 10 November 1978) is a German footballer. She plays for 1. FFC Frankfurt and the German national team as a goalkeeper.

Career

Club

Angerer's career began with ASV Hofstetten, where she played as a forward. When she substituted for the injured goalkeeper during a youth scouting game, she was discovered as a goalkeeping talent. In 1995, she moved to 1. FC Nuremberg and one year later to FC Wacker Munich. While at Wacker, she was given the opportunity to play football for an American college soccer team, but refused.

From 1999 to 2001, Angerer played at FC Bayern München, helping the team achieve promotion to Germany's top division, the Fußball-Bundesliga. She transferred to 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam in 2001, where she claimed two national Bundesliga championships, three German Cup wins and the UEFA Women's Cup in the 2004–05 season.^[1]

After seven years at Potsdam, Angerer left Germany in 2008 to play at Djurgårdens IF Dam in Sweden, replacing Bente Nordby. She returned to Germany after only one season to join 1. FFC Frankfurt. She won the German Cup for a fourth time with Frankfurt in 2011.^[3]

Following Birgit Prinz's retirement she was appointed Frankfurt's new captain.

International

Angerer made her international debut for Germany against the Netherlands in August 1996. However, after five matches in quick succession she was only used sporadically thereafter. Angerer was Germany's second choice goalkeeper behind Silke Rottenberg for almost a decade, winning six major titles as a reserve player without having played in a single game, including the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup, two Olympic bronze medals in 2000, 2004, and three UEFA European Championships in 1997, 2001 and 2005.^[1]

Nadine Angerer

When Rottenberg suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Angerer was picked as the starting goalkeeper for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup. During the entire tournament she did not concede a single goal, setting the record for most consecutive minutes played without conceding a goal in World Cup play to 540 minutes. This included blocking a penalty kick by Marta in the final against Brazil. She was named the best goalkeeper of the tournament.

Angerer remained Germany's national team goalkeeper for the 2008 Summer Olympics, claiming the bronze medal. She won the European Championship for a fourth time in 2009, the first time she had been a starter for Germany. Angerer was called-up for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup squad^[1] and received her 100th cap in her team's second match of the tournament, against Nigeria.

Following Birgit Prinz's retirement she was appointed the national team's new captain.^[4]

Personal life

Angerer told the German newspaper Die Zeit in December 2010 that she does not discriminate on gender when considering personal relationships.^[5]
