Noël Robin Ott (born 15 January 1994) is a Swiss beach soccer player who plays as a forward for the Switzerland national team.
Known for his pace across the sand and technical abilities in scoring many goals, Ott came to prominence in the sport in 2014, excelling during the European season; he was named best young player in the world that year. Ott has since become described as an "indispensable" part of the Swiss national team and one of the "5 to 10 best players in the world", something which has been officially recognised multiple times in his career as the recipient of many top accolades, including the Bronze Shoe and Golden Ball at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
He is regularly referred to as the "Lionel Messi of beach soccer".
