Gotham FC, the defending NWSL champions, are keeping their squad strong ahead of another postseason push. The team has secured a long-term contract with their star goalkeeper, Ann-Katrin Berger, who will remain with the club until 2026. Berger's impressive performance since joining Gotham from Chelsea in April has been a significant boost to the team.

Berger has been exceptional between the posts, allowing just 12 goals in 17 starts, with 12 wins and seven clean sheets under her belt. Her impressive stats have earned her a top spot among NWSL goalkeepers, saving the team a net 6.7 goals above expected. This remarkable performance has been a key factor in Gotham's success, and the team is thrilled to have her on board for the long haul.

"I've really enjoyed my time here, and I'm excited for the future with this club," Berger said. "This environment is truly special, and I'm excited to continue to compete and be the best I can be." Her dedication to the team is evident, and her exceptional skills have made her a vital part of Gotham's success.

Berger's international experience has also been impressive. She played a crucial role in Germany's bronze medal win at the Paris Olympics, showcasing her exceptional goalkeeping skills on the world stage.

Gotham FC is excited to have Berger on board for the long term, and they're looking forward to her first playoff experience with the team. As the regular season comes to a close, Gotham will face off against the fourth-place Kansas City Current on Saturday, with five matches remaining.
