Eseosa Mandy Aigbogun (born 23 May 1993) is a Swiss football forward, playing for Paris FC in the French Division 1 Feminine.
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 women's national football 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 Zurich. She was also eligible to play for the Nigeria women's national football team, before deciding to represent Switzerland.[6]
