Yvonne Weilharter stays at Austria Vienna: continuity in midfield!

Yvonne Weilharter has cemented her future in football with a clear sign of continuity. The defender remains the one Austria Vienna loyal and is happy about continuing her career with the Violets. “The positive development that we have made in recent years is particularly reflected in the last season,” emphasizes the 24-year-old player, who has been a regular member of the team since moving from RB Leipzig in 2022.

Last season, Weilharter was allowed to be in the starting line-up in all competitive games and played almost all games over the full distance. She has established herself not only as a player, but also as an important part of the team. Her coach Stefan Kenesei praises her positive influence on the team and emphasizes that continuity is crucial for success.

Personal development and senior national team

With a birth date of December 8, 2000 in Austria, Weilharter brings a lot of talent and ambition to the team. Her career began in youth, where she played for various clubs, including SV Neulengbach Frauen, from 2008 to 2016. She has already played 51 games for the Violets and scored 10 goals, which underlines her role as a key player.

Weilharter has also left her mark on the international stage, making her debut for the Austrian senior national team in 2018. She has played six international matches to date and is part of the emerging generation of Austrian women's footballers. “The international competition is of great importance for me and the team,” continued Weilharter.

The competition in women's football

While Weilharter is firmly establishing himself with the Violets, other Austrian players are also showing that the women's Bundesliga is on the move. For example, SC Freiburg has signed central defender Virginia Kirchberger from MSV Duisburg. The 24-year-old Kirchberger has already played 135 competitive games in the Bundesliga and the DFB Cup and counts 59 international matches to her wealth of experience. This shows how highly prized domestic talent is in European football.

Yvonne Weilharter remains a shining example of the talents of Austrian women's football. Her commitment to Austria Vienna is not only a report of her personal passion, but also a beacon for many young players who want to follow a similar path. Whether on the pitch or in the national team, Weilharter shows that the Austrian colors will continue to be proudly represented.
