Peter Karl Jehle (born 22 January 1982) is a Liechtensteiner footballer who plays for Liechtenstein club FC Vaduz as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Jehle was born in Schaan. From 2000 to 2006, he played his club football for Grasshopper Club Zürich in the Swiss Super League, having previously represented local FC Schaan in his country; at the former, 26 of his league appearances came between the ages 18–20.

Jehle moved to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Boavista F.C. during the 2006 summer, gaining first-choice status during his second season. In June 2008, after the Porto team's relegation due to the Apito Dourado affair, he left and signed a one-year contract with Tours FC from Ligue 2.[1]

After just one season in France, Jehle returned to his country and joined FC Vaduz who competed in the Swiss second level, for one year.[2]

International career

Jehle made his debut for Liechtenstein on 14 October 1998, in a 1–0 win against Azerbaijan for the UEFA Euro 2000 qualifiers which was the country's first ever competitive victory. He was just 16 at the time, but quickly became first-choice for the national team and remained in goal for the following decade.

On 22 March 2013, with the score at 1–1 against Latvia, the opposition was awarded a penalty. Aleksandrs Cauņa stepped up to convert it but Jehle saved the shot, thus earning the hosts one of just two points during the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification.[3]
