Club career
Reuteler started her career in 2008 at FC Stans[2] before moving to FC Luzern in February 2014.[3] In Lucerne, after just four months, she was promoted to the first team in the summer of 2014 and made her Nationalliga A debut at the age of just 15 in a 1–0 win over FC Zürich on 30 August that year.[4] She made 43 league appearances and scored 28 goals in four years.[5]
On 21 March 2018, Reuteler signed a two-year contract with 1. FFC Frankfurt.[5] In July 2020, 1. FFC Frankfurt merged with the men's football club Eintracht Frankfurt and thus formed that club's women's football department. In early 2022, she extended her contract with Eintracht Frankfurt until June 2024.[6] At the end of March 2021, Reuteler suffered a cruciate ligament rupture and missed almost a year of action. On 13 February 2024, Reuteler extended her contract once more by two years to remain at Frankfurt until June 2026.[7] In the 2024–25 season, Reuteler scored ten league goals for the first time in the Frauen-Bundesliga and helped Eintracht to a third-place finish. She went on to record 53 goals and 45 assists in 183 matches across all competitions before departing from Frankfurt in the summer of 2026.[8]
On 8 July 2026, it was announced that Reuteler had joined Women's Super League side Arsenal.[9]
International career
Reuteler completed the 2015 European Championship for Switzerland's U-17s and reached the final.[10] In June 2016 followed the European Championship semi-finals with the U-19s of Switzerland, which, however, lost to France. In 2017, Reuteler received her first call-up to the Swiss senior team and made her debut on 10 June 2017 when she came on as a 60th-minute substitute for Martina Moser against England.[11] She played for Switzerland at Euro 2017 and was the youngest player in the squad.[12][13]
Reuteler took part in the Cyprus Cup for Switzerland in the spring of 2018.[14] In July 2018, she took part in the U-19 European Championship in Switzerland. Reuteler scored two goals at the tournament, but the Swiss team was eliminated after the preliminary round.
Reuteler took part in Euro 2022 and was in the starting line-up for all three of the Swiss' group games. In the decisive third game against the Netherlands, she scored a 53rd-minute equaliser but Switzerland eventually lost 4–1 and were eliminated in the group stages.
Reuteler established herself as a key player for her national team and her strong performances saw her win the Swiss Women's Player of the Year award for 2024.[15]
On 23 June 2025, Reuteler was called up to the Swiss squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025, which was held in Switzerland.[16] She was one of the host nation's best performers at the tournament, scoring in a 2–0 win over Iceland and assisting Riola Xhemaili's dramatic equalising goal against Finland which sent Switzerland through to the quarter-finals of a Euros for the very first time.[17] They lost 2–0 to world champions and eventual finalists Spain in the quarter-final. As of December 2025, Reuteler is her country's sixth all-time top scorer.

Reuteler learned at the Talents School FREI'S schools and graduated there in 2018 as a businesswoman.[18]
