Early life edit
Gwinn started playing football at the age of eight for TSG Ailingen and later for VfB Friedrichshafen. In 2009, she began a five-year spell at FV Ravensburg.[3] She then played a season for the B-Juniors of SV Weingarten, as the only girl in the team.[4]
Club career edit
In 2015, Gwinn joined Frauen-Bundesliga team SC Freiburg for the 2015–16 season at the age of 16 years.[3][5] She had initially agreed to sign for Freiburg in February 2015, rejecting competing offers from Bayern Munich and Turbine Potsdam.[6] On 13 September 2015, (3rd Round) she debuted in a 6–1 home win over 1. FC Köln. She substituted in for Sandra Starke, making her Bundesliga debut as a 16-year-old. A month later, on 11 October 2015 (5th Round), in the match against Werder Bremen, was her first time in the starting lineup. On 6 December 2015 (10th matchday) she scored in a 6–1 home win over Bayer Leverkusen.[7]
On 25 February 2019, Gwinn agreed terms with Bayern Munich which would see her leave Freiburg at the end of the 2018–19 season.[2]
International career edit
Youth edit
Gwinn has represented Germany on the under-15, under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-20 national teams. At the age of 13 years, she was called up by coach Bettina Wiegmann for under-15 national team training in November 2012.[8] She made her debut for the U-15 national team in April 2013,[9] a substitute in an 8–0 win over the Netherlands.[10] She made three appearances for the under-16 national team in 2014.[11] In 2015, she was the youngest player in the U-17 national team squad for the European Championship in Iceland where the team reached the semi-finals but were defeated 0–1 by the Swiss selection.[12] UEFA's technical report noted that Gwinn's pace on the right wing had been a positive feature of Germany's play.[13] In May 2016, the team won the 2016 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship after a penalty shootout against Spain in Belarus.[14] The four Freiburg players in the squad contributed seven of Germany's 10 goals at the tournament and two of them, including Gwinn, successfully converted their kicks in the shootout.[15]
At the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Jordan, Gwinn helped Germany beat Venezuela 2–1 in their opening match earning her the "Player of the Match" award.[16] She scored the first goal with a volley, then assisted on the second.[17] Entering the tournament with 23 Under-17 caps and as a first team player with Freiburg, Gwinn was considered one of the pillars of the team.[18] In the Germans' second match against Canada, Gwinn's direct free kick salvaged a 1–1 draw.[19] In the third match, Gwinn scored a goal in Germany's victory over Cameroon.[20]
She played in the 2017 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship (scoring a goal against Scotland[21]) in Northern Ireland where she reached the semi-final and with this she qualified for the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (where scored a goal against China[22] and was named "Player of the Match" against Nigeria[23]).
Senior edit
On 14 May 2019, Gwinn was named to the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup German squad.[24] In her FIFA Women's World Cup debut, she secured the win for Germany in their opening game of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup by scoring the only goal in a 1–0 group-stage victory over China. She was named "Player of the Match" for her contribution.[25] The German World Cup campaign ended in the quarterfinals after a 2–1 loss to Sweden. Gwinn was later awarded with the Best Young Player Award for her performance at the tournament.[26]
