Isabelle Iliano (born 2 March 1997) is a Belgian footballer who plays as a defender for Belgian Women's Super League club Club YLA and the Belgium national team.

Club career

[edit]

In Belgium, Iliano played for KAA Gent in the BeNe League and Belgian Women's Super League, and for Club Brugge in the Belgian Women's Super League.[3]

Iliano made her professional debut for Gent at a 16-year-old in a 1-0 BeNe League win over Utrecht on 30 August 2013.[4][5]

Iliano featured in the Buffalos' first ever Cup success, a 3-1 victory over Anderlecht to win the 2017 Belgian Women's Cup Final.[6][7] After being beaten 3-2 by Genk in the following year's Cup semi-final, Gent returned to the Cup Final in 2019, defeating Standard Fémina de Liège 2-0 with Mariam Toloba and Marie Minnaert scoring the goals.[8]

In 2019, she moved to Club Brugge, playing 63 times in three seasons,[9] before a move to Fortuna Sittard to play in the Dutch Eredivisie following in 2022.[10] Iliano returned to Club YLA the following year.[9]

International career

[edit]

Iliano represented Belgium at under-17 and under-19 levels, before being capped at senior level for the first time on 22 November 2014, in a 4–1 away win against Poland.[11]

At the start of 2022, Iliano helped Belgium win the Pinatar Cup friendly tournament in Spain for the first time, coming on as substitute in two games, a 4-0 win over Slovakia and the decisive victory over Russia on penalties.[12]

Iliano returned to contribute to Belgium's successful qualification for UEFA Women's Euro 2025 via the play-offs, and was selected in the squad for both legs of the play-off final against Ukraine.[13][14]
