Anna Pallesen

Anna is from Fjerritslev, where she began playing football before continuing her development in Thisted and later moving to Dana Cup Academy.

She combines elite football with her education and lives at Dana Cup Academy, where football training and school are part of her daily routine. Moving to Dana Cup Academy dramatically shortened her daily travel: she highlighted that training, school and the town centre were all within around five minutes.

She signed her first youth contract with Fortuna Hjørring at the age of 16 after around a year and a half at Dana Cup Academy.

Her family was part of the moment when she signed her first contract: a close friend of the family, Rikke Mollerup, attended the occasion with flowers.

Fortuna head coach Lene Terp described Pallesen as an optimistic and happy player, noting that those qualities were visible during her league debut.
