Miro Max Maria Muheim (born 24 March 1998) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bundesliga club Hamburger SV and the Switzerland national team.

Club career

After a ten-year spell with Zürich, Muheim joined English club Chelsea in July 2014, and was integrated into the club's academy setup. Muheim went onto enjoy an impressive debut season, netting eleven times in nineteen games during the under-18 campaign and made his under-21 debut a year later. However, during the 2016–17 campaign, Muheim became a bit-player and therefore returned to his boyhood club Zürich on loan for the remainder of the campaign; however, he did not make a senior first team appearance during his time back at Zürich, spending his time with the club's second team in the Swiss Promotion League, and returned to Chelsea in June 2017.

On 31 January 2018, Muheim returned to Switzerland to join Swiss Super League club St. Gallen on a permanent basis. Four days later, he made his professional debut during St. Gallen's 2–0 away defeat against Young Boys, replacing Silvan Gönitzer§ in the 80th minute.

On 15 June 2021, it was announced that Muheim would join 2. Bundesliga side, Hamburger SV on a season-long loan. He went onto feature 27 times, scoring once, before making the deal permanent in March 2022.

International career

Muheim has represented Switzerland ranging from under-15 to under-21 levels. On 18 November 2024, he debuted for the Swiss senior squad in a Nations League 3–2 defeat against Spain at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López, playing the full match.

On 20 May 2026, Muheim was selected in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. On 13 June, in the 94th minute of their World Cup opener against Qatar, under pressure from Boualem Khoukhi, a left-footed cross rebounded off of Muheim's head into the Swiss net, leveling the game at 1–1 and earning Qatar's first ever point at the World Cup. While the goalscorer was named to be Khoukhi in the stadium, later reports corrected it to Muheim. The goal was the fourth-latest regulation-time equalizer ever scored at a World Cup.
