Viola Leuchter proved invaluable for hosts Germany at the 2025 IHF Women's World Championship in Germany/Netherlands, helping secure the silver medal - their best finish since 2007. The 21-year-old right back was named All-Star Best Young Player presented by LIDL for the second consecutive time, after receiving the same award in 2023, making history for German handball.

Despite a prior knee injury, suffered in the last match at the 2023 IHF Women’s World Championship, Leuchter scored 28 goals in the competition, with 132 career senior goals by semifinals. She also featured at Paris 2024 Olympics and EHF EURO 2024.

Now at Danish champions Odense Håndbold, after her previous club, HB Ludwigsburg, disappeared, Leuchter's scoring touch and resilience anchor Germany's young core, making her a crucial piece of the puzzle in the future.
