Laura Giuliani (born 5 June 1993[1] in Milan) is an Italian football goalkeeper currently playing for German club SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga.

Club career

FCF Como 2000

In 2009, having finished her youth career for S.S. La Benvenuta, a club located in Bollate, a city to the north-west of Milan, Giuliani moved to Como to take part in the 2009-2010 Serie A2 season. Her début came on the 14th of February, 2010, against ACF Trento.[2] She was named on the starting XI for the 2010-2011 season and started all 22 league matches, conceding 15 goals. The team finished even on points with ACF Milan in Group A, as, during the final league match against the rossonere, a late goal handed the win to the Milanese club. At that point, a play-off match was held seven days later, lost at the 94th minute.[3] Como 2000, however, was later granted access to the Serie A as well when Reggiana withdrew.[4] Giuliani made her Serie A début on the 9th of October, 2011, against Tavagnacco,[5] and marked 22 appearances out of the 26 league matches, conceding 37 goals as Como finished the season 9th.

FSV Gütersloh 2009

On the 21st of September, 2012, Giuliani announced she would be moving to German Bundesliga team FSV Gütersloh 2009.[6] She started her first match for the team on the 14th of November, 2012.

FC Koln

Giuliani moved to 1. FC Koln for the 2015-16 season; she started as backup for Lena Nuding but gradually played more and more games, unable, however, to prevent her team from being demoted.

SC Freiburg

Before the 2015-16 season ended, with Koln already mathematically relegated to 2. Bundesliga, Giuliani was signed by SC Freiburg,[7] where she will likely be second-choice to Laura Benkarth, only one year older but also already a player for her national team.

International career

Under-19

Giuliani received her first call-up for the Italian U19 team on the 5th of March, 2011, for a friendly. She made her UEFA début on the 30th of May, 2011, in the 2011 Women's Euro, in the first group stage match against Russia,[8] as Italy reached the semi-finals, where they were knocked out by Norway.[9] She totalled 19 caps for the U-19 team.

Under-20

Giuliani made her FIFA début on the 19th of August, 2012, during the first group stage match against Brazil[10] of the U-20 World Cup. Italy drew 1-1 with Brazil and lost the following two matches, leaving them out of the quarter-finals. Giuliani started all three group stage games, conceding seven goals.

Senior

Giuliani received her first call-up for the senior team as Italy faced Austria in a friendly held on the 7th of April, 2013.[11] She was left out of the squad which took part in the UEFA Women's Euro 2013. She made her debut on 5 April 2014 against Spain in a 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification match.[12]
