Eseosa Mandy Aigbogun (born 23 May 1993) is a Swiss football forward, playing for Roma and for the Switzerland national team.
Club career
Aigbogun started her career playing for FC Zürich and later FC Basel, both in the Swiss Nationalliga A. Since her debut in September 2013, a 9–0 win over Serbia, she has been a member of the Switzerland national team.[3]
Aigbogun rejected a transfer offer from SC Freiburg of the Frauen-Bundesliga in 2014.
She eventually moved to Germany in 2016, signing for Turbine Potsdam.[4]
International career
She was concerned that a failure to settle abroad could cost her a place in the Swiss national squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup,[5] where she scored one goal against Ecuador.
Personal life
Aigbogun's father emigrated from Nigeria to work as a pastor in Zürich. Therefore, she was eligible to play for the Nigerian national team, before deciding to represent Switzerland.[6]
