Almuth Schult

At the age of five, Schult began her career at her local football club FC SG Gartow, before moving to Hamburger SV in 2007. She joined Magdeburger FFC in 2008, where she played in the third-tier Regionalliga. At Magdeburg Schult became a regular starter and achieved promotion with her team to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, where she played two full seasons. In 2011, Schult signed a three-year contract with Frauen-Bundesliga side SC 07 Bad Neuenahr. In 2013, she signed a two-year contract with Bundesliga and UEFA Women's Champions League champions VfL Wolfsburg. In April 2022, she signed an 18-month contract with NWSL club Angel City FC. However, she featured in only one match, and left the club in November that year. In April 2024, she joined Hamburger SV until the end of the 2023–24 season. On 2 August 2024, the Kansas City Current announced that they had signed Schult through the end of the 2024 season. She left the club in December.

Schult reached third-place with Germany at the 2008 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, appearing in two matches. Two years later, she was Germany's first choice goalkeeper at the 2010 U-20 Women's World Cup, which the team won. The tournament was played on home soil in Germany. Schult was called up as third goalkeeper for Germany's 2011 Women's World Cup squad. Her first team debut was on 15 February 2012 against Turkey. After the retirement of Nadine Angerer, Schult's first major tournament as the starting goalkeeper for Germany came at the 2016 Summer Olympics, where she played every minute and earned Germany their first ever gold medal in women's Olympic football.
