Sarah Schatton wins goal scorer cannons and writes history!

Mahlsdorf, Deutschland - Sarah Schatton, a 37-year-old attacker by the association league FSV Blau-Weiß Mahlsdorf/Waldesruh, drew attention to himself in the 2024/25 season. She scored an incredible 79 goals, which represents the annual best value for this season in Germany. Thus, Schatton was crowned the most effective top scorer in all seven highest play classes in German football and received the renowned "goal scorer cannon for everyone", an award of the football magazine Kicker, who recognizes the best goal scorers in the leagues from the third to the seventh, so rbb24.

In the previous season, Schatton scored 35 goals in the Landesliga, but her move to the association league has proven to be a success. She not only sees the award as a personal honor, but as a "team success" that she wants to keep in the team cabin. The attacker emphasizes the importance of this honor, especially for players of older age and expresses the desire to remain active as long as it is possible. She also indicates that she is interested in the Ü35 selection for women and reflects on her beginnings at the 1st FC Union Berlin and her time with the former international Birgit Prinz at the 1st FFC Frankfurt.

The outstanding achievements of the goal scorers

Schatton is not the only winner of the “Torjägerkanon for everyone” this season. Talha Aydin from the DSC Wanne-Eickel was able to score an incredible 107 goals in the 11th league and was thus awarded the best striker in German amateur football. Both, Schatton and Aydin, were honored together with eleven other goal scorers at an international match of the German national team, as flw24 reported.

The competition for the "goalkeeper cannon for everyone" was launched six years ago by Kicker, Fussball.de (DFB) and Volkswagen to appreciate the services in amateur football. The award is awarded annually for men in the leagues four to eleven and for women in the leagues three to seven. Only goals from league games are taken into account, while goals from relegation parts do not flow into the evaluation. Ronny Zimmermann, the 1st DFB Vice President for Amateurs, emphasizes the excellent goal quotas of the winners, which underpins the importance of this honor.
