About the player
Meiko Sponsel came up through the youth ranks at Eisbachtaler Sportfreunde before 1. FC Köln brought him into their academy. In 2019, he scored the winning goal for the club's Under-19s in a final that secured the Deutscher B-Junioren-Meister title against Borussia Dortmund.
From there, Sponsel settled into 1. FC Köln II, where he played across five seasons and made 86 league appearances. He earned a call-up to the Germany U20 squad, though he has not added to that with any official caps.
Sponsel made his first-team debut for 1. FC Köln in April against Preußen Münster in the 2. Bundesliga title. That debut proved to be his only involvement with the senior side before a move away: in May, he left on a free transfer to FC Viktoria Köln, where he now plays as a centre-back.
