Martin Büchel (born 19 February 1987 in Ruggell) is a retired Liechtenstein footballer, who last played for FC Ruggell in Liechtenstein and formerly played for the Liechtenstein national football team.

Career

[edit]

Büchel began his career in his hometown for FC Ruggell and signed after nine years in the youth side with his club for local rival FC Vaduz.[4] His talents as a youngster earned him a transfer in 2006 to Swiss Super League side FC Zürich, who were then champions of Switzerland.[5] On 12 January 2010 left Büchel his Swiss club FC Zürich and turned on loan back to his former club FC Vaduz.[6] Following a loan spell at Deportivo de La Coruña in Spain, Büchel joined German side FC Unterföhring in 2012.

Büchel re-joined FC Zurich in 2018 as an osteopath while also continuing his playing career with their reserve side.[7]

In July 2019, Büchel moved on to another Zürich side, FC Red Star.

International career

[edit]

He was one of Liechtenstein's biggest young football talents and made his international debut at the age of 17.[8] He announced his retirement from international football on 4 November 2021, being effective after the last matches of that year.[9]
