Rainer Troppa (born August 2, 1958 ) was a soccer player in the highest GDR soccer league and 17 times GDR national soccer player.

Athletic career

Troppa's first stop in his footballing career was the BSG unit in Kolkwitz , a small town five kilometers west of Cottbus . There he went through the children's and youth teams from 1965. At the age of 15 he moved to BSG Energie Cottbus in 1973 , whose men's team had just been promoted to the league , the highest GDR soccer class. At the age of 17 Troppa was used in the league team in spring 1976 and played seven games there.

The 1975/76 season ended for Cottbus with relegation to the second-rate GDR league . Since Troppa was now part of the GDR junior national team , his move to runner-up Berlin FC Dynamo was arranged. There Troppa was initially only used in the junior teams. He played his first league games for the BFC in the 1977/78 season, in which he was used nine times. A year later he had already completed 21 point games for the Berliners, who celebrated their first championship this season and also reached the final of the GDR football cup . It was not enough for a double success, as the cup final was lost 0-1 to 1. FC Magdeburg . Troppa was also in this game as a central midfielder. A successful era began for the BFC with a total of ten championship titles. Troppa was involved in nine championships until 1986/87 and was another two times in the cup final (1982, 1984), but without being able to win the cup. In the 1981/82 season he was recognized by the football magazine "fuwo" as the best league player. In the European Cup Troppa was 28 times used (1 goal), by the Master Subscription of BFC always in the European Cup of Champions .

Troppa's career was also successful internationally. After the junior team, he also ran through the U21 national team . With the latter he was internationally most successful, because in 1980 he reached the final of the European Championship, which was lost 1-0 to the Soviet Union. Troppa played his first international A match at the age of 23 on November 11, 1981 in the encounter between GDR and Malta (5: 1). With his last appearance on December 8, 1984 in the World Cup qualifier France - GDR (2-0), he came to 17 A-internationals, in which he was used both in defense and in midfield.

The 1984/85 season saw a turning point in Troppa's football career. He was no longer used in the national team after the France game and at the BFC, with only 12 point games, he was no longer a regular player for the first time since 1979. 1985/86 there were only three league games, and in the 1986/87 season Troppa was only used once in the league team. For the season 1987/88 Troppa was still in the league squad, but only played with the 2nd team in the second-rate GDR league. He belonged to the BFC second agency until it was dissolved at the end of the league season 1988/89 . Troppa ended his active career with the Berlin district division BSG EAB 47 Berlin . He then worked as a trainer, so z. B. 1997 at Marzahner SV in the Berlin district league.
