Turbine Potsdam signs World Cup star Lineth Cedeño – a new beginning!

On June 27, 2025, the signing of Lineth Isabel Cedeño Valderrama will cause excitement in German women's football. The 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam has signed the 23-year-old Panamanian international, thereby securing an international reinforcement for the offensive. Cedeño, who is known for her speed and assertiveness, will already play in the 2nd women's Bundesliga. Managing director Stephan Schmidt was enthusiastic about the commitment and expects it to significantly enrich the team.

The young striker was born in Panama City, where she was born on December 5, 2000. She began her football career in 2013 at San Cristóbal FC in Panama and quickly attracted attention for her talent. Stations at Tauro FC and several clubs in Spain and Italy followed. Most recently, Cedeño played for Chorrillo FC Panama, and her performances brought her the highlight of her career so far: participation in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where she scored a goal in a thrilling group game against France.

First steps and international successes

At 1.70 m tall, Cedeño is one of the most athletic players on the pitch. She has already demonstrated her skills as a striker in various leagues, including Serie A in Italy, where she played for Hellas Verona and Sampdoria. Her impressive record speaks for itself: she has scored 10 goals in 25 appearances for the national team, with her first goals coming in the CONCACAF Women's Championship in 2018.

This change comes at an exciting time not only for them, but also for the fans of Turbine Potsdam. "We are very pleased that Lineth is joining our club. Her speed and international game intelligence will offer us new options in attack," continued Schmidt. Cedeño himself is happy about the change and the warm welcome in the team. “I’m happy to be here and can’t wait to support my new team and celebrate success together,” she said after the deal.
