City sign Iman Beney
The 18-year-old, capable of playing in multiple attacking positions, has joined the Club from BSC Young Boys Frauen after helping her former employers to the top-flight title for the first time since 2011.
To celebrate her arrival at the Joie Stadium, we’ve studied the archives to calculate how many countries have been represented by the Club since our professional relaunch in 2014.
The list below is based on the national team the player has represented. If they have not played on the international stage for a nation at any age group, their nationality has been listed based on their place of birth.
1 – SWITZERLAND
One player – Iman Beney
Starting with City’s latest recruit, Beney’s domestic success has translated onto the international stage with Switzerland.
After progressing through their youth ranks, she was named in the Under-17 European Championship Team of the Tournament in May 2023 before being named in the Swiss squad for the World Cup of the same year before a knee injury ruled her out of the competition.
