What happened?

SC Freiburg says goodbye to Jana Vojtekova, who leaves the club at the end of the season as the women's team kicks off their first match in Luzern on July 12. The Czech midfielder, who has been with the FCB women since 2022, announced her departure by mutual agreement. Her last appearance was at home in the Breisgau, where she helped the side against FC Bayern Munich in the cup round.

Why does it matter for SC Freiburg?

Vojtekova's exit removes a seasoned presence from the central midfield. Last season she contributed 4 goals and 7 assists, highlighting her role as a reliable playmaker. Coach Martina Voss‑Tecklenburg now must find an internal solution or look to the transfer market for a replacement, which could affect the club's budget as the fee was not disclosed.

How does it affect the women's team?

The Luzern opener on July 12 is a trial for the new lineup without Vojtekova. Their Swiss opponents, FC Luzern, have shown a solid defence in recent games. SC Freiburg's women are now relying more on young talents like Lina Magull and Sophie Schmidt, who have taken on greater responsibility in training. The match result will indicate whether the squad has managed the transition.

What comes next?

While the women play in Luzern, SC Freiburg's men's side continues intensive preparation for the next Bundesliga round. The club currently sits 7th in Bundesliga, 47 pts, 13W-8D-13L from 34 games, recent form WLDLW and has 51 goals scored, 57 conceded. They are 42 points behind leaders Bayern München. The last result was a 0-3 loss to Aston Villa on 2026-05-20. Despite these figures, the season remains open, and the upcoming weeks will reveal if the teams can close the gap.

How are the fans reacting?

Social media responses are mixed. Many mourn Vojtekova's departure and praise her contributions, while others stay optimistic about the prospects of the younger players. SC Freiburg's official fan club organized an online farewell party, honoring Vojtekova for her service. The overall mood stays positive, as the team aims to demonstrate resilience in the upcoming match against FC Luzern.
