Jena (19.02.2026) – A special honor for women’s football in Jena: Suya Haering, offensive player at FC Carl Zeiss Jena, is set to make her debut for the Neuseeland senior national team. The nomination reached the player at short notice, as she joins the “Football Ferns” squad as a replacement for an injured teammate.
Destination Salomonen: Fight for the World Cup Ticket
For Haering, a long journey now begins. The Neuseeland selection will play its qualifying matches for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 during the official FIFA window. The tournament venue is the Salomonen, an island nation in the Southwest Pacific, northeast of Australien.
The schedule is tightly packed: the matches take place between February 24 and March 7. Due to the immense distance and the necessary acclimatization, Haering will leave Jena as early as next Sunday evening, February 22. For the player, this is a significant career step, as it is her first call-up to the senior national team.
Impact on FC Carl Zeiss Jena
The release of national players is always a double-edged sword for clubs: on the one hand, it is a confirmation of the good training work and the quality of the squad; on the other hand, important pillars are missing from daily training. However, since the international trip falls within the official FIFA release window, league operations are largely suspended during this time.
The club confirmed that Suya Haering will return to Thüringen immediately after the conclusion of the international trip. From March 7, she will be fully available to FC Carl Zeiss Jena again. The international experience she will gain in the coming weeks is also expected to benefit the FCC’s play in upcoming league matches.
International Flair in Paradise
Haering is not the only FCC player currently in the international spotlight. Goalkeeper Jasmin has also been called up for national team duties, highlighting the density of talent in the Jena squad. Despite recent sporting challenges in the league – with defeats against top teams like Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern München – the individual development of the players shows that the Jena location remains an important address in German women’s football.
We wish Suya Haering a safe journey and much success in the hunt for the World Cup ticket.
