Katharina Naschenweng

Born in Spittal an der Drau, Naschenweng began playing football with local side SV Rothenthurn. At age 18, she signed with ÖFB-Frauenliga side 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 TSG Hoffenheim. She initially played with their U20s but almost immediately moved to the senior team due to her strong performances. 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. 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 Bayern Munich on a three-year deal, joining in the summer for the 2023-24 campaign. 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 VfL Wolfsburg. In June 2024, Bayern announced Naschenweng required an operation after suffering a serious cruciate ligament rupture. She missed nearly one year of football due to the injury.

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. In 2017, Naschenweng was part of the 23-women squad that represented Austria and reached the semi-finals at the UEFA Women's Euro. Naschenweng was included in the Austrian squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2022. She scored in a 2–0 win over Northern Ireland in Southampton.
