Eseosa Mandy Aigbogun (born 23 May 1993) is a Swiss football forward, playing for FC Basel of the Nationalliga A. She previously played for FC Zürich. Since her debut in September 2013, a 9–0 win over Serbia, she has been a member of the Switzerland women's national football team.^[3]

Aigbogun rejected a transfer offer from SC Freiburg of the Frauen-Bundesliga in 2014. She was concerned that a failure to settle abroad could cost her a place in the Swiss national squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.^[4]

Aigbogun's father emigrated from Nigeria to work as a pastor in Zurich. She was also eligible to play for the Nigeria women's national football team, before deciding to represent Switzerland.^[5]
