Career

societies

While studying at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , Bowen played for the North Carolina Tar Heels team from 2012 to 2015 . On January 15, 2016, she was committed in the second round of the NWSL college draft at position 16 of the FC Kansas City franchise . Her first season with Kansas City ended in sixth place. The following year the club deteriorated by one place. For the 2018 season, she moved to Utah Royals FC , who narrowly missed the NWSL Championship play-offs in fifth. In 2019 it was only enough to make it to 6th place.

National team

Katie Bowen became the youngest player to ever play for New Zealand at the age of 14 when she played with the U-17 team against the Australian U-17 team on her 14th birthday in 2008. Six months later she was part of the squad for the first U-17 Women's World Cup , which was held in her native New Zealand. But she was only used in the last group game in the 3-1 win against Colombia, when she came on in the 78th minute.

In April 2010, she took part with the U-17 team in the 2010 U-17 Oceania Women's Championship . With the victory in the championship, the team had qualified for the 2010 U-17 World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago . There the young New Zealanders met stronger opponents. Bowen was used as captain in the three group matches, but with three defeats New Zealand was eliminated as the group bottom.

On May 12, 2011, she made her debut in New Zealand's senior team in a 3-0 draw against Australia as a 17-year-old . In the summer she was the youngest New Zealand player to take part in the World Cup in Germany and was even used in the first two games. Without a win, New Zealand was eliminated after the preliminary round.

In April 2012 she took part in the Women's U-20 Oceania Championship 2012 in her native New Zealand. Bowen was used in two of three games. With three wins, New Zealand was able to win this championship as well and qualify for the 2012 U-20 World Cup in Japan for women . Bowen was then used in two friendly matches of the senior national team against Australia in June 2012, but not taken into account in the qualifying tournament for the Olympic Games and the football tournament at the Olympic Games in London .

Instead, she took part in the U-20 World Cup with the U-20 team in August and was used in the three games. New Zealand could only win the first group game against Switzerland. After a 2-2 win against hosts Japan and a 4-0 win against the Mexicans, New Zealand was eliminated in third place.

In March 2013 she took part with the senior national team in the Cyprus Cup 2013 and came to two missions, u. a. in the game for 3rd place against Switzerland. At the U-20 OFC Nations Cup Women 2014 New Zealand, in the U-20 World Cup in Canada qualified they not participated, but rather as a captain at the World Cup, where it was used in three of four games . New Zealand finished in second place behind European champions France in the group stage and thus reached the quarter-finals for the first time in a World Cup. But here came the end against the later vice world champion Nigeria.

In 2014 she took part with the senior national team in both the four-nation tournament in the People's Republic of China and the 2014 Cyprus Cup . For the Oceania Championship 2014 , where New Zealand qualified for the 2015 World Cup, she was not nominated, nor for the test series in November in Europe. In the first half of 2015, however, she was used again in all friendly matches and on May 14, 2015, she was appointed to the squad for the 2015 World Cup . It was used in the three group games after which the New Zealanders were eliminated.

On June 7, 2016, she scored her first international goal with a 0-1 lead in Australia (final score 1: 1). The goal attracted attention as the New Zealand team should not have scored an international goal against Australia for 18 years, which is not true, however, as they scored two goals in the 2-3 defeat on February 12, 2015.

She was also included in the roster for the 2016 Olympic Games. It was also used in the three games, but the New Zealanders were eliminated as the worst group third.

In the 2018 Oceania Women's Soccer Championship , she was used in four games and scored one goal. As tournament winners, the New Zealanders qualified for the 2019 World Cup and the 2020 Olympic Games .

Two appearances at the Cup of Nations followed in spring 2019 .

On April 29, she was nominated for the World Cup in France . At the World Cup she was used in the three games over the full playing time, but since the three games were just lost, the New Zealanders were eliminated after the group stage.
