Kiel football talents: Cerci and Freigang start at the 2025 European Championship!
The anticipation in Schleswig-Holstein is huge: Today, July 4th, 2025, the European Women's Football Championship begins with an exciting opening game. The German women's national team meets Poland in St. Gallen. Kick-off is at 9 p.m. and NDR will report live from the game. This tournament will be a very special event for Kiel's Selina Cerci and Laura Freigang, as both are in the DFB squad.
Selina Cerci, 25 years old, has had an impressive career. Her footballing journey began at SV Friedrichsort in Kiel before she moved to Holstein Kiel's B youth team at the age of 14. After a break due to injury - she missed the 2022 European Championships due to a cruciate ligament injury - she is now ready to play her first major international tournament. She also crowned the last Bundesliga season as top scorer and currently plays for TSG Hoffenheim.
Kiel roots and strong ties
Laura Freigang is celebrating her second European Championship tournament this year. The 27-year-old has a close relationship with her home town of Kiel, where she regularly visits family and friends. Her football journey began in 2011 when, after her time at FSV Oppenheim, she moved to the youth department of Holstein Kiel. There she made her debut at the age of 14 in the B-Junior Bundesliga North/Northeast. After three years at Holstein Kiel, she gained experience in Mainz before returning to 1. FFC Frankfurt on a sports scholarship in the USA and now plays for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Freigang already has an impressive record: 120 competitive games and 75 goals for Eintracht Frankfurt show her class and potential. She was already able to get a taste of international air at the 2022 European Championships in England, and now she hopes to get valuable playing time in this tournament too.
Public interest and other games
The people of Kiel are ready for the European Championships, and the public viewing in local facilities such as the STUDIO Filmtheater promises to attract many fans in front of the screens. The DFB women's next games have already been scheduled: on July 8, 2025, they will play against Denmark in Basel, followed by another game against Sweden on July 12, 2025 in Zurich.
Overall, the European Championship will be a highlight not only for the players, but also for the fans who will follow the games of their women's national team with excitement. The Kielers Freigang and Cerci in particular are the focus and hope to be able to successfully represent their homeland. Women's football has grown in popularity in recent years and Euro 2025 could be the next big step to further increase the excitement.
As the football season gets underway and the first games are coming up, it remains to be seen how the German players will perform. One thing is certain: there will be a lot of action in the arena in St. Gallen! The [Spiegel] is available for current information to report on results and the game.
