Ramona Bachmann (born 25 December 1990) is a Swiss footballer who plays as a forward for FC Rosengård and the Switzerland national team.
Club career
Starting her career in FC Malters before moving to SC Luwin, she then rejected offers from both Germany and USA to sign for Swedish club Umeå IK in Damallsvenskan at the age of 16 in 2007.[1] Following Marta's departure from the club in 2009, Bachmann became a key player at Umeå. She was voted Swiss female Player of the Year in 2009.[2]
In 2010, Bachmann joined Atlanta Beat as the No. 1 pick on the WPS international draft.[3] After an injury-hit season in the professional WPS, and after her contract with the Atlanta Beat was not renewed, Bachmann rejected offers from Germany, England and the United States to return to Umeå for the 2011 season.[4]
She was named the best player of the 2011 season, and subsequently moved to defending champion LdB Malmö.[5]
International career
Bachmann played for Switzerland in the 2006 and 2010 editions of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[6] During the latter tournament she was hampered by a back injury.[6] At the 2009 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Belarus, Bachmann won the UEFA.com Golden Player award.[7]
She made her debut for the Swiss senior team against Sweden in June 2007.[8] In September 2010 Bachmann scored in Switzerland's 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying defeat against England, but was criticised for her play acting that led to the dismissal of England goalkeeper Rachel Brown.[9] Bachmann admitted there was no foul and apologised for her actions,[10] while Brown's red card was rescinded on appeal.[11]
Bachmann was ruled out of the following play-offs against Denmark due to her persistent back pain.[12]
