Chattanooga Football Club announces local soccer legend Anna Lanter returns for the 2023 season, pending league and USSF approval.

Lanter returned to CFC for the team's relaunch in 2022 and earned WPSL All-Conference Best XI honors. 

"The thing I loved about CFC last year was how relational everyone in and surrounding the club was," said Lanter.

Anna Lanter is the youngest of three Lanter sisters, all who played for Soddy-Daisy High School and soccer powerhouse Lee University.

In college, Lanter helped lead the Lady Flames to the program's first GSC Tournament Championship in 2017 and an NCAA Sweet 16 appearance.

The next season, Anna captained a defense that won the program's first NCAA South Region Championship and advanced all the way to the Final Four. In her senior year at Lee, Lanter guided her team to another GSC Championship and an undefeated 19-0-1 record.

Lanter says one of her favorite soccer memories is assisting her sister, Summer, for the game-winning goal in Lee University's 2017 conference championship.

She is a big part of the local soccer community and CFC is proud to call her one of us. 

"Investing into the community isn’t just a slogan but it’s an action," said Lanter. "I’m excited to see how the club continues to intentionally invest in people through the sport of soccer. It is truly something special to be a part of."
