She will also be hoping to form part of plans for a home European Championship in 2025.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Beyond that, attention is already beginning to drift towards the next World Cup. It has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/brazil-2027-women-world-cup-netherlands-belgium-germany/blt6d45d36da3c9a3b6" target="_blank">announced that the 2027 finals will be staged in Brazil</a>. The South American nation has become a spiritual home of football, but has never hosted the biggest spectacle in the women’s game.

Lehmann has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-alisha-lehmann-stunned-results-dna-test-wsl-star-actually-swiss/blt77eef58c819fcf3e" target="_blank">reached a half-century of appearances for Switzerland</a> and is, as a superstar of the WSL, a key part of their plans heading forward.
