Bibiane Schulze Solano (born 12 November 1998) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Primera División club Valencia, on loan from Athletic Bilbao. She was born in Germany of Basque heritage on her mother's side.
Club career[]
Schulze joined the youth system of 1.FFC Frankfurt from FV 08 Neuenhain and progressed through the ranks to play seven times in the Frauen-Bundesliga for the club.[1] She departed for Athletic Bilbao in July 2019.
The move proved controversial, as some Athletic supporters questioned whether Schulze was Basque enough to conform to the club's signing policy.[2][3][4] Club president Aitor Elizegi rejected the complaints, attesting to Schulze's "clear Basque origin".[5]
Schulze was predominantly restricted to appearances for the Athletic Bilbao B team, although she made one Primera División appearance as a substitute against Sevilla in October 2020.[6] In July 2021 Schulze signed a season-long loan deal with Athletic's Primera División rivals Valencia CF.[7]
International career[]
Overlooked for the Germany selection at the 2015 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship in Iceland, Schulze made a late, unsuccessful approach through her Frankfurt team-mate Verónica Boquete to represent Spain at the event.[1]
