Elena Nichele is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder and has represented Italy at youth international level.
She had to convince her mother for a long time before being allowed to start playing organised football as a child.
She came through the Italian youth national team system, representing Italy at U17 and U19 level.
Her career has included spells across multiple Serie A Femminile clubs, reflecting a progression through Italy’s top-flight women’s football structure.
At just 15, she relocated around 120 km away from her family to pursue professional football in Verona’s system.
She has described herself as a calm personality off the pitch, but someone who becomes fully focused and intense once a match begins.
