Club career

Wolfsburg coach Ralf Kellermann signed Maritz in 2013 on the strength of her national team performances in Cyprus.[2]

Maritz signed for FA WSL club Arsenal in 2020.[3] She made her Arsenal debut in their opening game against Reading on 6 September 2020, playing the whole 90 minutes.

International career

Since her debut at the 2013 Cyprus Cup, Maritz has been a member of the Switzerland women's national football team.[1]

Personal life

Maritz was born in the United States and moved to Switzerland when she was ten. Therefore, she has dual citizenship.^{[citation needed]}

Because she was born in the state of California, her name is officially spelled without accents as "Noelle", instead of the usual "Noëlle", according to the state's naming laws where names should only consist of letters in the English alphabet.
