Alisha Lehmann, dubbed the ‘world’s sexiest footballer’, has secured a new sponsorship deal.
Lehmann, 26, who used to go out with former Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz, is currently preparing for the Women’s Euros with Switzerland.
The tournament is being hosted in the 26-year-old’s home country and they get their campaign underway in Basel on Wednesday with a clash against Norway.
But, ahead of the tournament, Lehmann has been busy off the pitch and on Sunday she unveiled a new partnership with swimwear company Tezenis.
The Italian brand is known for its urban and youthful style and offers a wide range of trendy items, while it has also been praised for its competitive pricing.
And Lehmann revealed news of the partnership with an Instagram post of her wearing a red bikini from Tezenis.
The post was a video, in which Lehmann could be seen sunbathing before she took a ball from a bag and started doing kick-ups, while the Swiss star even added a few skills in there.
The 26-year-old added the caption: ‘Same energy. Different uniform @tezenisofficial.’
It is unclear where the video was shot, but it appeared to be a luxurious location, with Lehmann on the beach in the blazing sunshine during the clip.
Meanwhile, the new link-up for Lehmann comes just days after she was part of a Swiss outfit that lost 7-1 to Under 15 male side FC Luzern in a warm-up game ahead of the Euros.
Footage of the match circulated on social media and reportedly received 70,000 views on TikTok before being deleted.
Switzerland played a second-string team, with boss Pia Sundhage fielding 26 players.
Swiss Football Association media spokesperson Sven Micosse defended the result after the game and gave further context to the defeat.
She told Swiss outlet Blick: ‘It’s not uncommon in women’s football to compete against junior teams.
‘The goal: to bring a certain competitive element. The focus during this phase of preparation is on the physical aspect.
‘Regardless of the result, these training games are very similar to our international matches in terms of intensity and mileage.’
Lehmann, who plays for Juventus, is the national team’s most famous player and boasts 16.7million followers on Instagram and 12m on TikTok.
However, she was only handed a last-minute call up to the Swiss squad for this summer’s tournament after being initially snubbed by Sundhage.
The 26-year-old was given a spot in the squad after FC Koln midfielder Alena Bienz withdrew with an ankle injury.
Reacting to her call up, Lehmann wrote on Instagram: ‘I couldn’t be happier to represent my country at the Euros. I’m so grateful for the opportunity. Let’s make Switzerland proud and show how football is growing.’
