Club career
editSC Freiburg
editYouth and B teams
editOliver Baumann joined SC Freiburg's youth team in 2002, since then he has gone on to make 104 Bundesliga appearances for the club. He went on to make 21 appearances for SC Freiburg.
First team
editOn the last day of the 2009–10 Bundesliga season, Baumann made his senior team debut in a 3–1 home victory over Borussia Dortmund.[3] He became the SC Freiburg first-choice goalkeeper from the 2010–11 season onwards, where he made 30 appearances in the Bundesliga.[citation needed] In June 2011, he extended his contract until 2015.[4] In the following two seasons, 2011–12 and 2012–13, Baumann made a total of 73 appearances for the Freiburg first-team, 67 of those in the league.
In the 2013–14 season he continued to be the mainstay of the Freiburg line-up, starting all of the club's first six Bundesliga fixtures, as well as starting Freiburg's opening UEFA Europa League and DFB-Pokal matches. In a match against Hamburg SV, Baumann made three terrible bloopers that led to a 3–0 loss to Hamburg SV.[5] Despite his terrible performance, he started the following game against Nürnberg and kept a clean sheet to help Freiburg achieve its first win of the 2013–14 season.[6] On 24 September 2013, Baumann signed a new contract at the club.[7]
TSG Hoffenheim
editOn 14 May 2014, Baumann joined TSG Hoffenheim on a four-year contract deal.[8] He became Hoffenheim's starting goalkeeper ever since, and team captain in 2022 following the retirement of Benjamin Hübner.[9] In the 2023–24 season, he achieved the most saves in Bundesliga in 157 occasions.[10]
International career
editBaumann made at least one appearance for each of the nation's youth sides from under-18 to under-21 level.[11] His only Germany under-18 appearance came in a 3–2 friendly defeat to the Republic of Ireland in 2007.[11] Four of his seven under-19 matches were qualifiers for the 2009 European Under-19 Championships, but despite his two clean sheets in the elite round, Germany failed to progress.[12][13]
After making two appearances for Germany's under-20 side, against Switzerland and Italy,[11] he made the step up to under-21 level. He played once in qualifying for the 2011 European Championships, three times in 2013 qualifying, and once in the 2013 finals, as well as four friendlies.[12]
Baumann was called up to Germany's squad for UEFA Nations League matches against Spain and Switzerland in September 2020,[14] and named in the squad for UEFA Euro 2024 on home soil,[15] but did not play. He finally made his senior debut on 14 October 2024, in the starting eleven for a 2024–25 UEFA Nations League A match against the Netherlands at the Allianz Arena, and kept a clean sheet in Germany's 1–0 victory.[16]
