Fun Facts about Elena

Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

Elena Pisani first kicked a football at the age of seven after watching her older brother's training session, when his coach invited her onto the pitch.

An athletic scholarship took her to the United States, where college soccer helped her grow both as a player and as a person.

Marco Materazzi has long been her favourite defender, and his iconic No. 23 is the reason she enjoys wearing the same shirt number.

Pisani describes herself as an "old-school" central defender who enjoys physical defending and takes pride in aggressive, no-nonsense play.

She earned a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering while continuing her professional football career, balancing university work with training over several years.
