Early life

[edit]

Her national-footballer father met his later wife during a football match in Munich. The couple married in Turkey, but moved to Germany when Filiz was three years old. [9] where her father continued his football career playing for the Bundesliga team Hannover 96.[4][13] At age 16, she was naturalized in Germany, holding now dual citizenship.[14]

Filiz Koç completed her education in a private school to become an instructor for sports and fitness.[4][10][12][15]

In her early years, she preferred to be called after her mother's family name "Heilmann" hoping so to have more opportunities. Later on, however, she began using her father's surname "Koç".[4]

Inspired by her father's sports profession, Filiz Koç developed a passion for football in her childhood at home. Already at age ten, she decided to become a footballer.[4]

In September 2015, she moved in a loan-out contract to the Turkish club 1207 Antalya Muratpaşa Belediye Spor, which had finished the 2014–15 season in the Turkish Women's Second League as champion, and was so promoted to the Women"s First League.[6] The release approval of her former club TSV Limmer for her to play in Turkey was set to run out at the end of the 2015–16 season, end of March 2016.[20]

At age 20, she suffered a nasal fracture during a futsal game,[4] and had to undergo a corrective surgery later on.[5]
