Gaëlle Deborah Enganamouit (born 9 June 1992) is a Cameroonian football forward who plays for Swedish Damallsvenskan club FC Rosengård and the Cameroon national team.

Club career

Enganamouit previously played in the Serbian First League for Spartak Subotica, for whom she appeared in the UEFA Champions League.[3] While playing for Spartak Enganamouit reportedly scored the fastest goal in women's football history, after two seconds.[4]

In December 2013, Enganamouit announced her transfer to Swedish football, with newly-promoted Damallsvenskan team Eskilstuna United.[5]

League champions FC Rosengård signed Enganamouit to a two-year contract in November 2015, as a replacement for Anja Mittag. Enganamouit had been the 2015 Damallsvenskan top goalscorer with 18 goals as Eskilstuna finished second after mounting an unlikely title challenge.[6]

International career

She is a member of the Cameroonian national team and played at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[7]

At the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada she scored a hat-trick in Cameroon's 6–0 win over Ecuador. During the 2015 World Cup game against defending champions Japan, her unnerving drive and powerful style lead to her being lovingly known as "Freight Train" by Canadian fans.[8]
