Club career
[edit]Rall started playing football at the age of five with VfB Bösingen.[2][3] In the summer of 2009, she and her teammate Natalie Hezel joined the B youth team at VfL Sindelfingen.[4] There she moved up to the first team of VfL Sindelfingen in the summer of 2010. She made her debut in the 2nd Bundesliga South on 15 August 2010 against 1. FC Köln. After two seasons and 27 appearances, she and her team won the 2nd Bundesliga South championship in the 2011–12 season.[5] On 2 September 2012, she made her Bundesliga debut for VfL in a 9–1 defeat against 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam.[6] After 61 games for VfL Sindelfingen, she left the club and went to Morocco.[7] After three months, Rall returned to Germany and switched to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in February 2015, where the defender was initially used in the second team and then made the leap into the Bundesliga squad in 2017.[8]
Rall was signed by FC Bayern Munich for the 2021–22 season.[9] At Bayern, she switched from full-back to midfield and developed into a dangerous goal scorer.[10] In her debut season, she finished as the club's second-best scorer with 10 goals. Rall was a regular this season, Bayern finished second in the Bundesliga behind champions VfL Wolfsburg.
The Chicago Red Stars acquired Rall in January 2024, signing her on a one-year contract with a mutual option for the 2025 season.[11] She made her NWSL debut in the Red Stars' 2024 opening match, playing 90 minutes in a 2–0 victory over the Utah Royals.[12] The following match, Rall scored her first goal with Chicago, netting the game-winner in a win against Seattle Reign FC.[13] Rall would go on to miss a portion of the season due to an injury, which landed her on the 45-day injury list.[14] At the end of the season, Rall's contract operation was not exercised by the Red Stars and she departed from the club.[15]
