Football career

Azman started playing competitive football at 11 years old. She played for the Woodlands Secondary School and Republic Polytechnic. [3] [4]

Club career

Azman previously played for the South West Queensland Thunder in the National Premier Leagues Women's in Australia. She made 31 appearances for the club. [5]

In 2021, Azman became the first Singaporean to play professionally in Japan, when she joined INAC Kobe Leonessa of the Japan Women's Empowerment Professional Football League. [5] Azman struggled in INAC Kobe due to the different level of play and language barrier. [6] In an attempt to bridge to the gap, she put in extra training and ultimately injured herself, tearing her left gluteus maximus muscle, sidelining her for two months. [6] [7]

Azman requested for a loan move at the end of 2021 and after a successful trial with Kibi International of Nadeshiko League Division 2, joined Kibi International on loan from February to June 2022, until the end of her contract with INAC Kobe. [6] In June, Azman made her first appearance in the Japan League in a 60th minute substitution. [8]

Kibi International signed Azman on 1 July 2022 for another six months, after her contract with INAC Kobe ended. [8] [9]

She returned to Singapore at the start of 2023 and signed for Hougang United in the Deloitte Women’s Premier League (WPL). [10]

Rosnani Azman joins Albirex Niigata (S) for the 2024 WPL season. [11]

International career

Azman was selected in the provisional 29 players national team squad for 2023 Southeast Asian Games. [8]
