Women: Ida Daedelow signs professional contract

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have handed academy product Ida Daedelow a professional contract. The 17-year-old central midfielder, who's been with the Werkself since 2019, has signed until 30 June 2025 and will be part of the squad for the Google Pixel Women's Bundesliga from now on.

"It's a great sign that another player from our academy is knocking on the door of the Bundesliga squad," said Achim Feifel, Bayer 04 Women sporting director. "We want to carefully prepare Ida for the level and the intensity of the Bundesliga. She's a player with tremendous willingness, who works hard on herself and pursues clear goals." He also described Daedelow as "a very hard-running player with high resilience".

Daedelow moved to Leverkusen from SC Blau-Weiß 06 Köln in 2019 and passed through the U13, U15 and U17 teams, winning the U17 Bundesliga title with the latter in 2023. She's also made five appearances for the Germany U16 side. She's been a permanent fixture in the Bayer 04 Women's training group during the current pre-season.

"My grandad used to work at Bayer, so to sign a professional contract at Bayer 04 means a lot to me," said Daedelow, who's been given the number 30 shirt. "Since I started here, I've got closer and closer to the first team. It's a great feeling to now get there. I'm not going to shy away and I want to make my Bundesliga debut this year."
