Noël Ott

Ott has described himself as a "whirlwind" who "spins past opponents" and likes to "go one-on-one with opposition players". His pace is also frequently referenced as his strength, with an ability to glide quickly across the pitch without his feet sinking into the soft sand surface; teammate Dejan Stankovic has similarly talked of Ott's "lightness on the ball", that allows him to "dance around opponents". Stankovic has also highlighted Ott's awareness, decision-making and composure in both shooting and playmaking. Ott is also known for his exceptional technical abilities.

In 2013, Ott gained a bachelor's degree in economics. In 2015, he was working as an office administrator in Zürich and would subsequently drive to Basel to train with the national team. His employer of the time in 2017 fired Ott as they were unwilling to accommodate his need to dedicate so much time to beach soccer. He attempted to make a full time living from the sport in 2017 but found life in Switzerland too expensive to survive on payments available to beach soccer players. By 2022, he had completed training as a human resources specialist. Cristiano Ronaldo is his idol. Within beach soccer, he looks up to Portuguese brothers Leo and Bê Martins but says the most important people in his career have been Swiss coach Angelo Schirinzi and teammate Dejan Stankovic.

The following is a selection, not an exhaustive list, of the major international honours Ott has achieved:
