Homosexuality is not taboo here: these World Cup players are a couple

It is the 45th minute of the World Cup opening match between Switzerland and the Philippines. Ramona Bachmann (32) confidently converts a penalty and leads Switzerland 1-0. The jubilation is great: Bachmann forms a heart with both hands in the direction of the camera. The message goes to her wife Charlotte Baret. The couple married shortly before the World Cup in France.

Homosexuality is not taboo in women’s football. Nearly 100 players at the World Cup have been eliminated. That would be unthinkable at a men’s World Cup. Although many players have a partner who has nothing to do with football, there are also many female football players. Cross-border relationships can also cause excitement. Like the opening match between Ireland and Australia (more on that in the video). These five examples show that there is another way:

The dream pair of international football. Harder and Eriksson have been a couple for over ten years. Her famous kiss photo from the 2019 World Cup went viral when Harder supported her boyfriend in a Swedish jersey in the third-place match. At club level, both originally went their separate ways. 2020 is the end of the long-distance relationship – Harder moves from Wolfsburg to Chelsea, where Eriksson was captain for a long time. This summer they will move to Bayern Munich together.

Kerr is the hosts’ big hope for this World Cup. The Chelsea striker scored 29 goals for her club last season and is regarded as one of the best players in the world. The relationship with Mewis became known after the 2021 Olympic Games. The US defeated Australia in the bronze medal game. Mewis consoled Kerr after the match and fueled the relationship rumours, which were confirmed a short time later.

Both players are considered top performers in their national teams. They have been playing together at the French top club Olympique Lyon since 2021. Just a few months later, the rumor about their relationship flares up. The signs become more and more clear until Carpenter follows the matches live in the stadium of the EM 2022 in the shirt of van de Donk. This spring, the couple celebrated Carpenter’s birthday in Switzerland at the luxury resort of Bürgenstock.

The goalkeeper and defender met in the summer of 2016 at Birmingham City. Carter and Berger set up a shared flat because the Englishman wants to leave her parents’ house. In addition, she had recently divorced her boyfriend. A year later, Berger and Carter kiss for the first time. The Englishwoman is unsure at first because she has never had a relationship with a woman. Now the two have been a happy couple for six years and play at Chelsea. Berger even won the battle against thyroid cancer at that time. Always by her side: friend Jess Carter.

In 2017 Boattin moved to Juventus – in 2019 Sembrant followed from Montpellier to the Italian series champions. The Swede does not actually talk about her private life. On Valentine’s Day this year, the couple is going public. In a video they talk about their relationship. This is causing a stir in Italy – same-sex marriage is not allowed in our neighboring country. The otherwise private Sembrant is very proud, saying, “In hindsight, coming out was more important than we thought.”
