"Ida slotted into the team without much difficulty last pre-season thanks to her carefree nature and even stayed cool on her Bundesliga debut in front of over 22,000 spectators," said Achim Feifel, sporting director of Bayer 04 Women. "If she continues on this path, we're going to have a lot of fun with her."
Since her debut in the 1-1 draw at Bremen last October, Daedelow has made five competitive appearances for the first team. She previously rose through the U13, U15 and U17 teams after joining the club in 2019. In 2023, she won the German championship with the U17s.
"I've been able to develop in my first year as a professional despite the added strain of work and school, and I feel very at home here," said Daedelow. "That's why I'm looking forward to becoming better in all areas over the next two years with full focus on football. I want to earn more playing time in order to be able to help the team more in matches and get my first goal involvements."

“As far as mentality and determination are concerned, we have nothing to reproach ourselves for,” Robert Andrich said up after the first home defeat for the Werkself this term. In terms of their play, too, the Black and Reds put in a respectable performance for long stretches of this intense and physical match, outperforming VfB Stuttgart in most areas. It was only in terms of efficiency in front of goal that the Swabians had the edge over the Werkself. Head coach Carles Martínez wants to learn from this so that, in future, they can “win this sort of match too”. The Werkself review.
