Michael Tribaco Kempter[1] (born 12 January 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Swiss Challenge League club Neuchâtel Xamax[2] and the Philippines national team. Born in Switzerland, he began his career at FC Zürich and had played for the Swiss youth national teams.

Club career

Zürich

Kempter, a product of the Zürich youth academy, made his league debut for the club on 24 April 2016 in a 3–0 away defeat to Young Boys, coming on as an 81st minute substitute for Vinícius Freitas.[3] He scored his first competitive goal for the club on 10 April 2017 in a 5–2 away victory in the league over Le Mont.[4] His goal, scored in the 54th minute, made the score 5–0 to Zürich.[citation needed]

In June 2017, Kempter suffered a rupture of the cruciate ligament.[5] He was out until March 2018 and only one month later, he got injured again and had to get a surgery. On 1 February 2019, Kempter was relegated to the U-21 squad.[6] In August 2020 his contract was not renewed.[7]

Neuchâtel Xamax

In September 2020, Kempter signed a one-year deal with Swiss Challenge League club Neuchâtel Xamax.[8][9]

International career

Kempter was born in Schlieren, Switzerland to a Swiss father and a Filipina mother from Pasay. As such, he was eligible to represent both Switzerland and Philippines.[10][better source needed][11]

Switzerland youth

Kempter has represented Switzerland at under-19 to under-20 levels.[11]

Philippines

In June 2019, Kempter received his first call-up for the Philippines ahead of a friendly against China PR.[12] He made his debut on 7 June 2021 in a World Cup and Asian Cup qualifier against China PR.[13] In the 14th minute, his nose was elbowed in a controversial challenge from Tang Miao, and he had to be taken off the pitch. Tang was not booked for the incident, and a disappointed coach Scott Cooper confronted referee Kim Hee-gon at halftime, who allegedly claimed that Kempter "broke his own nose".[14][15]
