Ronny Hodel (born 27 October 1982) is a Swiss former professional footballer who played as a left-back.
Born in Horw, Lucerne, Hodel played his youth football with local club Luzern coming through the ranks.
He started to push for a place in the international set-up and was tipped to be included in the Swiss squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany but left-backs Christoph Spycher and Ludovic Magnin were chosen instead.
[5] In the Swiss Cup via FC Léchelles, SC Binningen, Grasshopper Club, Stade Nyonnais and in the semi-final Thun, Basel advanced to the final, and winning this 4–1 against AC Bellinzona they won the competition.
On 18 June 2009, he was released by Basel after newly appointed manager Thorsten Fink decided not to offer him a new contract.
[10] He had expected to sign for Servette FC from Switzerland but during the medical tests an anomaly in his knee was found and it was not known whether he would be able to continue his career or not.
Hodel joined SC Cham, who at that time played in the Promotion League, the third tier of Swiss football.
