Seraina Piubel (born 2 June 2000) is a Swiss footballer who plays for FC Zürich and the Switzerland national team.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Piubel played for FC Fislisbach in her youth. At the age of 13, she was accepted into the Footeco support program and switched to FC Zürich. From 2015 to 2016, she played for a year in the FC Red Star Zürich U-15 boys' team before moving back to FC Zürich. On August 6, 2016 she made her debut in the Super League. She came on as a 75th-minute substitute in the game against the BSC YB. She was also used in the Champions League qualifier against KFF Vllaznia Shkodër where she played the full game time and scored a goal in the 3-0 win. In the 2017/18 season, Piubel was used regularly, mostly as a substitute. On October 11, 2017, the game against FC Gintra was their UEFA Women's Champions League debut. She was substituted on in the 67th minute. She has been one of the regular players at FCZ since the 2020/21 season.[5] [6] In January 2022, she was nominated by a panel of experts as one of three players for the AXA Women's Super League 2021 award. Ultimately, Sandy Maendly won the award. Piubel was also nominated for this award the following year, but the winner was Fabienne Humm.[7]
On 18 September 2020, Piubel played her first match for Switzerland against Croatia in qualifying for the Euro 2022, ending in a 1–1 draw.
On 11 April 2023, she scored her first international goal against Iceland in a friendly match, but eventually lost 2–1.
In Switzerland's opening 2023 World Cup match against Philippines, Piubel scored the second goal for a 2–0 win.[8]
