Every soccer nation needs a leader on the pitch. The captain is tasked with galvanizing the entire team throughout the 90 minutes, making sure everyone excel in their roles and motivating when things go wrong! The bigger soccer countries are not short of such important figures, such as Leah Williamson of England. Switzerland, one of the veteran nations of women’s soccer, is fortunate to have central defensive midfielder Lea Walti as their skipper. Beautiful and resilient, the 29 year old, 1.67 m captain has been with the national team since 2011, and was named captain in 2019. She has represented her country over 98 times. She is also the third captain of Arsenal, and was named Female National Player in 2021. Lia, the proud unsung hero of Switzerland, is excited about the prospect of playing in the upcoming World Cup in 2023. In this video, she leads her team in a feisty match with Croatia.
