Deniz Nadia Özer (born 2 March 1987), also known as Nadia Özer, is a German former professional women's association football midfielder of Turkish descent. Having dual citizenship, she was a member of the Turkish national team.

Club career

Born into a sports-oriented family, her mother wanted her to be a handball player. She liked football because her father is a football coach.[1] She started her career at 1. FFC Frankfurt II when she was ten years old only. She played in the midfielder position.[2] After appearing for VfL Wolfsburg, SG Wattenscheid 09 and others , she transferred to SG Essen-Schonebeck in 2008 to play in the topflight Frauen-Bundesliga.[2][3] She then returned to her former club 1. FFC Frankfurt playing in the Frauen-Bundesliga. In Bischofsheim, where she lives, Özer was offered a job in 2012 by the local football club Sportfreunde to help children with a migration background integrate better through football during the free time between her trainings in the professional club 1. FFC Frankfurt. She coached the girls' youth team a half season long.[4] In the 2013–14 season, she played for TSV Schott Mainz, which finished the season as champion of the Frauen-Regionalliga Südwest, and was to be promoted to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga.[5] However, due to incompleteness of application documents, the German Football Association rejected the promotion.[6] During her second season at SV Bretzenheim 1912, the further matches of the entire season were cancelled as the season was abandoned due to COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.[7]

International career

Owning dual citizenship, Özer was called up to the Turkey women's national football team in 2009,[2][4] and capped eleven times,[1] before she played two friendly matches against Greece in 2011.[8][9]

Personal life

Deniz Nadia Özer was born to a Turkish father and a German mother in Flörsheim am Main, West Germany on 2 March 1987.[1][8][4] Her father is a football coach and her brother is also a professional footballer.[1] She lives in Bischofsheim, Hesse.[4]
