Football career
BSG Sachsenring / FSV Zwickau
Schreiber was accepted into the children's soccer team of the company sports association (BSG) Sachsenring Zwickau in 1977. As a junior player, he was part of the GDR U-18 national team in 1988 and 1989, for which he played six international youth matches. This also included the three preliminary round matches that the GDR played in the 1989 World Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia.
The 1.80 m tall toolmaker made his debut in the men's division in the first team of the BSG Sachsenring when they played in the second-class GDR league in 1987/88 . Schreiber was used in two point games and thus had a modest share in the promotion to the GDR league . For the league season 1988/89 he was officially included in the 1st team and used there from the 3rd game day. In his first league game BSG Sachsenring - Rot-Weiß Erfurt (0-1) on August 27, 1988, he was still 18 years old and came on in the 67th minute. Although Schreiber made 22 point games this season, he couldn't get beyond the role of substitute player, as he only played eleven times over 90 minutes and was only 16 times in the starting eleven as a striker or midfielder. While he was still without scoring in his two second division games, he scored two goals in the league. At the end of the season Sachsenring had to relegate back to the GDR league. There, the BSG spent the last two second division seasons in GDR football with Schreiber. In 1989 he was appointed to the GDR's Olympic team, with which he played several test matches. Even before the start of the qualifying games for the 1992 Olympics, the team was withdrawn in the course of German reunification . 1990/91 Schreiber was with 18 goals scorer of Zwickau, which after the political changes of 1989 in the FSV Zwickau had changed.
Bundesliga soccer
After the FSV Zwickau could not qualify for one of the top three leagues of the DFB game operations in 1991, Schreiber moved to FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the 2nd Bundesliga in the summer of 1991 . He played his first second division game on July 25, 1991 against VfB Leipzig. In his second game, he scored a 1-1 draw against 1. FC Saarbrücken. Schreiber played very successfully in his first two years; so he scored eight goals in the first season and nine in the second. Overall, he was used 103 times in the 2nd division and scored 17 goals. Olaf Schreiber achieved fame because of his 1-0 victory in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup against Borussia Dortmund on August 24, 1993. In seven cup games, he scored four times for Jena.
In 1994 he returned to FSV Zwickau, which had just been promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga. There he played two seasons, in which he was part of the regular staff with 54 stakes as a striker or midfielder. In 1996, Schreiber moved to VfL Bochum in the 1st Bundesliga . Initially he played for three years in the first class and was used 61 times. In the 1997/98 season Schreiber played with Bochum in the UEFA Cup ; his first of a total of five European Cup games he completed on September 16, 1997 against Trabzonspor. In the same season, Schreiber saved VfL from relegation with his goal for a 1-0 win against TSV 1860 Munich on the last match day. In 1999 Bochum was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga. After only one year in the second division, in which Schreiber had ten missions, Bochum rose again to the first division.
Schreiber had to struggle with injuries again and again in the last years of his career; in 1999 he initially had a torn tendon and then a cruciate ligament tear , but kept returning to the football field. On matchday 34 of the 2000/01 season, just three minutes before the end of the game, Carsten Ramelow from Bayer 04 Leverkusen hit his ankle unhappily, so that Schreiber suffered a broken fibula and an internal ligament torn , which ultimately forced him to retire as a sports invalid to end.
Schreiber played a total of 68 Bundesliga and 167 second division games. After his sports career, he began to work as a marketing manager for a manufacturer of heating systems.
