Lisa Karl (born 15 January 1997) is a German footballer who plays as a defender for SC Freiburg.[1][2][3]
Lisa Karl moved from TSV Crailsheim to the U17 team of SC Freiburg Women in 2012, where she played for two years in the U17 Bundesliga. During the 2013-14 season, she was promoted to the senior squad of SC Freiburg Women and made her debut in March 2014 in a 3–0 away defeat against 1. FFC Frankfurt, coming on as a substitute for Juliane Maier in the 75th minute.[4] Shortly afterwards, she suffered an ACL injury at the U17 World Cup and was sidelined for around a year. She made her Bundesliga comeback in March 2015 in a 2–0 away win against FF USV Jena.[4]
She has since become a permanent member of the Bundesliga squad. Since 2020, she has missed only three league matches — and none at all since April 2022.[5] In 2023, she extended her contract until 2027 and reached the cup final with SC Freiburg Women. During the 2023-24 season, she made her 150th competitive appearance for the club. She was also appointed co-captain for the first time alongside Hasret Kayikçi.[6]
In the 2024-25 season, Karl took over the captaincy after Kayikçi suffered an ACL injury. In April 2025, Karl extended her contract once again ahead of schedule. During the 2025 summer training camp, she officially became the team captain, while Laura Benkarth, Julia Stierli and Svenja Fölmli completed the team council.[7] Karl entered her twelfth Bundesliga season in 2025-26. In January 2026, she made her 200th competitive appearance for the Sport-Club.[4]
Lisa Karl is also a senior police officer in Freiburg-Sankt Georgen.[3] In June 2022, she won the European Police Championship in Trondheim with the German national police team alongside Janina Minge. She won the title again in 2025.[8]
