The German international goalkeeper gave birth to her third child. Almuth Schult, who is currently without a club, announced before the birth that she wanted to continue her football career after the pregnancy.
National goalkeeper Almuth Schult gave birth to her third child. The 32-year-old gave birth to a healthy boy on Wednesday, she said through the German Football Association. The 2016 Olympic champion had already had twins – a boy and a girl – in April 2020.
Schult was absent from the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where the German team was eliminated after the preliminary round, but said a few months ago on NDR: “I would like to continue my football career after the pregnancy and childbirth. But of course we have to see how well that fits in with the new challenges in family life.” At the 2022 European Championship, she was the substitute keeper behind Merle Frohms.
