QB ORIGINALS | “We Celebrated Like We Won the World Cup” — Klára Cahynová on Beating Barcelona
We’re proud to present the next Queenballers Original interview with Klára Cahynová. Captain of the Czech national team, record holder for most appearances, and one of the strongest voices of Czech women’s football today.
“We need to show people that women’s football here deserves more.” A simple sentence. But one that perfectly captures everything Klára stands for. We spoke about leadership, pressure, and what it truly means to wear the captain’s armband. Klára opened up about the evolution of women’s football, her journey through Germany and Spain, and the emotional moments that shaped her career both on and off the pitch.
From adapting to life abroad to facing players like Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí, and even beating Barcelona with Real Sociedad, her story is about resilience, growth, and staying human in a highly competitive world. She also shared how women’s football in Spain transformed after the World Cup victory, why visibility matters, and what Czech football still needs to take the next step forward. This one is for the leaders. The fighters. And the girls who refuse to stop dreaming. 🤍⚽️
