David Hasler (born 4 May 1990) is a Liechtensteiner former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or striker in the late 2000's and early 2010's.
Hasler signed a youth contract with Swiss club FC Basel in 2007, despite the fact that FC Zürich and BSC Young Boys also competed for his signature. As UEFA.com confirmed the signing, they named him as one of the most promising youngsters of 2007.[1] For the 2007–08 season, Hasler joined Basel's U-18 team, they ended the league season in third position, but were able to win the cup at U-18 level. In the final held on 15 June 2008 in the Gurzelen football stadium in Biel/Bienne, the Basler juniors were a goal behind. But then, Marco Aratore scored the equaliser in the 68th minute and five minutes later the same player netted the winning goal, as Basel won 2–1 against the U-18 from Team-Luzern-Kriens.[2]
During the winter break of the 2008–09 season Hasler was brought up to Basel's U-21 team, who played in the 1. Liga, which was the forerunner to the Promotion League the third tier of Swiss football. He played in 12 matches with them, eight in the starting formation and four as substitute, and in these twelve matches he scored six goals. That season the team became division champions and won the championship at U-21 level.[3] In the following season Hasler played 21 of the 30 games, scoring eight times, the team became runners-up in the division. After playing for Basel's youth and U-21 teams, Hasler then moved to Vaduz on a free transfer in the summer of 2010.
He made his international debut for the Liechtenstein U21 national team in April 2006 against Northern Ireland at 15 years and 11 months old.[5] On 26 March 2008, Hasler was granted his first senior cap for the Liechtenstein national team against Malta.
