EuroHockey Championships 2023
This is the women's squad for the EuroHockey Championships 2023 in Mönchengladbach
21. July 2023
The starting shot will be fired on 18 August 2023. The starting signal for the EuroHockey Championships 2023 in Mönchengladbach. On the same day, the DANAS will start the European Championship tournament against Scotland. Valentin Altenburg was spoilt for choice and had to reduce his provisional European Championship squad from 25 hockey players to just 18. The national coach decided on these 16 field players and two goalkeepers from ten different clubs.
The German women's European Championship squad is led by the two captains Nike Lorenz and Sonja Zimmermann. The most experienced player in the squad is Anne Schröder with 190 caps, the youngest player is Linnea Weidemann at 19.

England will follow on 20 August and in the last match of the group phase on 22 August, the DANAS will meet Ireland. A possible semi-final would take place on 24 August. The final of the Women's European Championship will take place on 26 August. The German team finished second in each of the last two European Championships in 2019 and 2021.
The national coach on the squad nomination
At the end of a very intensive and successful training course, I have today nominated the squad of the German women's national team for the European Championship in Mönchengladbach. I am very satisfied with the development of all the players in the last few weeks and if it were up to me, I would like to make it possible for all the players to take part in the European Championship. No matter where we played as DANAS in the last few weeks, whether in Wiesbaden, Limburg or Rüsselsheim, it was always sold out. The spark has jumped from the court to the spectators and from the spectators to the players. That makes us incredibly excited about a sell-out crowd at the European Championship in our living room. We will be looking for our chance in every game of the EuroHockey Championships 2023, no matter who is on the other side.
