Giovanna Hoffmann (born 20 September 1998) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for Frauen-Bundesliga club RB Leipzig and the Germany national team.

Career

[edit]

Hoffmann began her career playing for the local sports club SC Lehe-Spaden. In 2012, she joined the youth setup of Werder Bremen. In October 2014 she made her debut in the senior team. After missing the whole 2015–16 season due to an ankle fracture, she made her comeback in September 2016[1] to win that season's second-tier championship with Bremen, which meant the promotion to the Bundesliga. From March 2018 on she had to pause again due to ongoing health problems.[2][3]

In February 2020, her transfer to SC Freiburg to the upcoming season was announced.[4][5] However, from October 2020 on, she again missed several months due to a ruptured cruciate ligament. Her biggest success with Freiburg was to reach the final of the 2022–23 cup competition.[6]

In the summer of 2024, she joined RB Leipzig.[7] A few months later, she made her debut for the German national team.[8]
