Katharina Elisa Naschenweng (born 16 December, 1997) is an Austrian footballer who primarily plays as a left-back or left winger for FC Bayern Munich in the Frauen-Bundesliga and the Austria national team.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Spittal an der Drau, Naschenweng began playing football with local side SV Rothenthurn. At age 18, she signed with ÖFB-Frauenliga side SK Sturm Graz. In the 2017-18 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round, the youngster impressively scored four goals in three matches.

In 2019, three years after joining Sturm Graz, Naschenweng joined German Bundesliga side Hoffenheim.[2] She initially played with their U20s but almost immediately moved to the senior team due to her strong performances.[3] After recovering from a cruciate ligament tear, Naschenweng established herself as Hoffenheim's first-choice left-sided defender.

After scoring four goals in 29 league matches, Naschenweng extended her contract with Hoffenheim through to 2023.[3] Over the seasons from 2020-21 to 2022-23, she started 63 of their 66 Bundesliga matches.

On 17 January 2023, Naschenweng signed with fellow German club FC Bayern Munich on a three-year deal, joining in the summer for the 2023-24 campaign.[4] She started 17 of Bayern's 22 league games in her first season, scoring three goals and helping them win the Bundesliga title. "Kathi" started the 2024 DFB-Pokal Frauen final, which Bayern lost 2-0 to Wolfsburg.

In June 2024, Bayern announced Naschenweng required an operation after suffering a serious cruciate ligament rupture.[5] She missed nearly one year of football due to the injury.

International career

[edit]

Naschenweng was part of the Austrian U-17 national team that competed at the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship in England. She was also part of the Austrian U-19 national team that represented Austria at the 2016 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Slovakia.

On 6 June 2016, Naschenweng made her senior international debut for Austria at the age of 18 against Israel. She replaced Sarah Puntigam in the 75th-minute of a 4-0 win in a UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying match.[6]

In 2017, Naschenweng was part of the 23-women squad that represented Austria and reached the semi-finals at the UEFA Women's Euro.[7]

Naschenweng was included in the Austrian squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2022.[8] She scored in a 2-0 win over Northern Ireland in Southampton.
