Fun Facts about Katja

Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

Katja grew up with true mountain-life roots in Alto Adige, where climbing, chopping wood and helping at her family’s barn were part of her childhood.

Her creative side goes far beyond football — she loves cooking, drawing and even making wood sculptures.

Katja has one of the most unique off-pitch hobbies in football: sewing, with Italian media even noting that she takes her sewing machine with her.

Before becoming a goalkeeper, Katja played outfield with boys until she was 13, while her goalkeeper story quietly started at home catching balls with her father.
