July 24, 2024INTERVIEW WITH PUMA ATHLETE AND RB LEIPZIG PLAYER JULIA LANDENBERGER
July 24, 2024To kick off the training camp, the women of German Bundesliga club RB Leipzig made a stop at our PUMA headquarters in Herzogenaurach. We took the opportunity to talk to one of the players, Julia Landenberger. She is a rising star in women’s football and a proud PUMA athlete! Julia has quickly made a name for herself with her exceptional defensive skills. Currently playing for PUMA club RB Leipzig, she has shown remarkable talent and dedication on the field. Julia’s journey began at a young age, and she has since played for top clubs like SC Freiburg and FC Bayern München. Keep an eye on this talented athlete as she continues to make waves in the football world!
Get to know Julia a little better and read our interview.
First of all, congratulations on signing a contract with RB Leipzig until 2027 – What do you particularly like about RB Leipzig’s style of play?
Julia: Thank you very much! I think it fits really well with PUMA now. I like the fact that we want to play boldly forwards and score quickly. You can see in our preparations that we are definitely making great progress. I believe that if we continue to work well, we can play a big role in the Bundesliga in the next few years.
What goals would you like to pursue with RB Leipzig during this time?
Julia: We really have top conditions in Leipzig. A lot is happening. Everything that has happened in the last few months and last year is really good progress. And of course it’s no secret: we want to play in the Champions League. I already have a bit of experience in the league from my time at FC Bayern, but I’d like to play a bigger role.
Women’s football has developed rapidly in recent years. Ever larger stadiums are being sold out, media coverage has increased, etc. What do you wish for the future?
Julia: Yes, definitely. I hope it continues like this. I think there is still a lot of room for improvement. That’s another reason why I hope that we keep at it. So that a steady development is visible and we, as athletes, can make a living from our sport.

How does it feel for you as a PUMA athlete that the club you play for is now also sponsored by PUMA?
Julia: Very good. When I found out, I was really pleased. I think PUMA in general is a perfect fit for Leipzig. They are both so dynamic and have speed in their DNA. That’s why I’m very happy about it.
Do you like the new kits?
Julia: Yes, definitely. I particularly like the red Away Kit. They also feel very good.
