From Bonn to the ZDF

Claudia Neumann, born in 1964, began her journey as a sports commentator after graduating high school in 1984. After spending time abroad, she pursued her higher education in Bonn, Germany, where she studied German Literature, Pedagogy, and Sports from 1986 to 1992.

Neumann made history as the first female German commentator for men's soccer matches on ZDF, a major German public television broadcaster. Her groundbreaking work paved the way for more women to enter the traditionally male-dominated field of sports commentary.
