Description
Playing, Commentating, and Redefining Football Culture
Rachel Rinast’s journey spans over 170 club appearances for 1. FC Köln, 48 caps for the Swiss national team, and appearances at both the European Championship and the World Cup. Since 2024, she has been playing for FC St. Pauli, bringing experience and presence to the Millerntor. Beyond the pitch, she is the first woman to commentate Premier League matches for Sky Germany, and today works as a football expert at SRF.
More than just a player, Rachel represents stance, friction, and change — carving out space in a structure that is often closed. Together with Amadeus, she talks about football as a political, social, and aesthetic language — and why authentic voices matter in the game’s future.
