Why Martina Voss-Tecklenburg ranks #87 in Football

Martina Voss-Tecklenburg ranks 87th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 146th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 92, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1984–1999 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1993, which sets the Peak component at 90. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european championship titles 4, germany caps 125, germany goals 27, bundesliga titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Crystal Dunn on 87.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Lauren Holiday on 87.5. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
