Some of Germany's hottest female footballers have thrown themselves into the kind of sizzling strip that's going to leave male fans demanding an action replay.
More than 300 female footballers in Germany competed in a knock-outs tournament to appear on a sexy 2012 pin-up calendar.
From January through to December, each girl poses in black boots and a similar colour scheme to the national team kit.
Organisers say all of the girls play regularly for amateur leagues and clubs.
The artistic yet raunchy photographs follow on from Germany's successful stunt prior to the Women's World Cup this summer when five members of the team posed naked for the German edition of Playboy.
The calendar's creators say their main motivation was to promote women's football, which gained a lot of publicity in Germany during the World Cup, despite the national team's early exit from the tournament.
"The calendar is meant to make women's football more attractive, and help give it more media presence," the calendar's website declares.
Calendars are on sale and available at www.fussballerinnenkalender.de.
