Club Career
Early Years and SC 07 Bad Neuenahr
Célia Šašić started playing football when she was just five years old. Her older brother took her to practice, and she loved it! After playing for a few youth teams, she joined a professional team called SC 07 Bad Neuenahr in 2004. She was so good that she quickly became one of the team's most important players.
In 2005, she won the bronze Fritz Walter medal, which is given to the best young players in Germany. Unfortunately, in 2007, she broke her tibia (a bone in her lower leg) during a game. This serious injury ended her season early, even though she was the top goal-scorer in the league at the time.
1. FFC Frankfurt
In 2013, Šašić moved to a new team, 1. FFC Frankfurt, and signed a three-year contract. She played with them for two very successful seasons. On July 16, 2015, at the age of 27, she announced that she was retiring from professional football.
International Career
Šašić's mother is French, so she had French citizenship. However, the German Football Association asked her to play for Germany. She became a German citizen in early 2004. That same year, she helped Germany's youth team win the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship.
In 2005, she played her first game for Germany's main national team. She scored her first goal for Germany in a game against Canada in 2006. She was part of the German team that won a bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. She also helped Germany win the 2009 European Championship.
2015 FIFA Women's World Cup
Šašić was a star player for Germany at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2015. In the first game against Ivory Coast, she scored a hat-trick (three goals). She scored a total of six goals in the tournament, making her the top scorer. For this achievement, she won the Golden Boot award. Soon after the World Cup, she announced her retirement.
Personal Life
Šašić was born in Bonn, Germany. Her father is from Cameroon, and her mother is from France. Her original last name, Okoyino da Mbabi, was so long that her first name, Célia, was printed on her club jersey instead.
She graduated from high school in 2007 and later studied Cultural studies at a university. In 2013, she married a Croatian football player named Marko Šašić and changed her name to Célia Šašić. In 2016, after she retired from football, she had her first child, a daughter.
