Birgit Prinz (born 25 October 1977) is a German former footballer, two-time FIFA Women's World Cup champion and three-time FIFA World Player of the Year. In addition to the German national team, Prinz played for 1. FFC Frankfurt in the Frauen-Bundesliga as well as the Carolina Courage in the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), the first professional women's league in the United States. Prinz remains one of the game's most prolific strikers and is the second FIFA Women's World Cup all-time leading scorer with 14 goals (second only to Marta from Brazil). In 2011, she announced the end of her active career.{{cite web |title=Prinz announces end of career |url=http://www.sportschau.de/sp/fussball/news201108/12/prinz_karriereende.jsp |publisher=sportschau.de |access-date=12 August 2011 |language=de |date=12 August 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928204258/http://www.sportschau.de/sp/fussball/news201108/12/prinz_karriereende.jsp |archive-date=28 September 2011}} She currently works as a sport psychologist for the men's and women's teams of Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.{{cite web |title=Frauen: Prinz works and trains in Hoffenheim |url=http://www.achtzehn99.de/frauen-prinz-hospitiert-und-trainiert-in-hoffenheim/ |access-date=17 January 2012 |language=de |date=17 January 2012}}

Club career

Prinz began her career at SV Dörnigheim FC. She made her Bundesliga debut for FSV Frankfurt, where she played from 1993 to 1998. During that time Prinz won two Bundesliga titles and two German Cups. In 1997 and 1998 she was the Bundesliga top scorer. In 1998, she moved to local rivals 1. FFC Frankfurt, where she has had her biggest success at club level. In 13 seasons at the club, Prinz won six Bundesliga and eight German Cup titles. She also won the Bundesliga top-scorer award twice more in 2001 and 2007. Prinz won the UEFA Women's Cup three times with Frankfurt, in the 2001–02, 2005–06 and 2007–08 seasons. She also reached the final in 2004, but lost to the Swedish side Umeå IK.{{cite web |url=https://www.dfb.de/index.php?id=131&no_cache=1&action=showPlayer&player=prinz_birgit |title=Nationalspielerin Birgit Prinz |publisher=DFB.de |access-date=18 June 2011 |language=de}}

For two seasons, Prinz joined Carolina Courage in the professional women's league WUSA in the United States. During her short stint in America she claimed the 2002 WUSA Championship. After the 2003 World Cup, Prinz declined an offer from AC Perugia to play in Italy's men's Serie A, fearing her transfer would be used as a publicity stunt and she would end up on the bench.{{cite web |title=Birgit Prinz sagt Perugia ab |publisher=netzeitung.de |date=23 December 2010 |access-date=5 February 2010 |url=http://www.netzeitung.de/sport/266527.html?Birgit_Prinz_sagt_Perugia_ab |language=de |archive-date=24 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224043742/http://www.netzeitung.de/sport/266527.html?Birgit_Prinz_sagt_Perugia_ab |url-status=dead }}

In her time at FFC Frankfurt, Prinz won many personal awards, including a record eight German Female Footballer of the Year awards from 2001 to 2008.{{cite web |url=https://www.dfb.de/index.php?id=500014&tx_dfbnews_pi1%5BshowUid%5D=24271&tx_dfbnews_pi4%5Bcat%5D=84 |title=Grings erneut Fußballerin des Jahres |publisher=DFB.de |date=8 August 2010 |access-date=18 June 2011 |language=de}} She was named the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2003, 2004 and 2005. For four consecutive years from 2007 to 2010 she came second, behind Brazil's Marta.{{cite web |title=FIFA Ballon d'Or – Previous Editions |publisher=FIFA |access-date=22 June 2011 |url=https://www.fifa.com/ballondor/previouseditions/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101031172811/http://www.fifa.com/ballondor/previouseditions/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=31 October 2010}}

International career

File:Birgit Prinz.jpg in 2011]]

At the age of 16, Prinz made her debut for the Germany national team in July 1994 against Canada. She came on after 72 minutes and scored the game-winner in the 89th minute. One year later, she won her first major title at the 1995 European Championship, scoring in the final. In the same year, she was named to Germany's squad for the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup, where they lost to Norway in the final match. She remains the youngest player ever to appear in a World Cup Final.{{cite web |url=http://www.focus.de/sport/fussball/frauen-fussball-wm-2011/deutsche-nationalmannschaft/birgit-prinz-mittelpunkt-des-deutschen-angriffs_aid_625451.html |title=Birgit Prinz – Mittelpunkt des deutschen Angriffs |publisher=Focus.de |access-date=22 June 2011 |language=de}}

For the next decade, Prinz had one of the most successful international careers in women's football. She won four more UEFA European Championships in 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2009. At the Summer Olympics she won bronze three times with the German team, in 2000, 2004 and 2008. At the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup, Prinz helped Germany win its first World Cup title in the women's game. She was honoured as the tournament's best player and top-scorer. Prinz became the women's national team captain at the end of 2003, and remained until her retirement. Four years later, at the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, she captained the team to Germany's second World Cup title; she was awarded the Silver Ball as the second-best player at the tournament.

Prinz holds several national and international records. With 14 goals, she is the second all-time leading goalscorer at FIFA Women's World Cups. From 2008 until 2012, Prinz and Brazil's Cristiane both held the tournament record of ten goals at the Summer Olympics, although Cristiane has now surpassed Prinz. For the German national team Prinz appeared 214 times and scored 128 goals, and is the team's most capped player and top goalscorer.
