Steffi Jones is one of the most successful German football players of all times. She is the 2003 World Champion and three-time European Champion. Steffi Jones is intensively committed to women's football and has played a major role in the development of the sport in Germany. During her active career, she played for 1. FFC Frankfurt and for Washington Freedom in the US Women's Professional League. In 1993, she made her debut in the German women's national team. After 111 international matches and numerous title wins, she declared her retirement from the national team in 2007 and ended her career as an active footballer. In 2008, Steffi Jones was appointed President of the Organising Committee of the Women's World Cup 2011. After completing this role, for which she was honoured several times, she became Director of Women's and Girls' Football at the DFB. From September 2016 to March 2018, she was the national coach of the women's national football team. "Steffi Jones is a personality of German sport who is both popular and respected. She is a renowned and respected representative both nationally and internationally, not only because of her professional expertise but also because of her likeable and natural manner," the then DFB President Wolfgang Niersbach said about her. In 2006, Steffi Jones was awarded the Hessian Order of Merit for her many years of voluntary work. Time and again, the daughter of a German mother and an American soldier has campaigned for integration and tolerance in Germany.
