Bachmann came out as lesbian during the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.[22] She was previously in a relationship with fellow Swiss national team footballer Alisha Lehmann, who moved to London to play for West Ham United.[23] Their national team coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg explained: "The situation is not exceptional in women's football".[24]
