Lena Świrska

Born in 2009, Lena represented her primary school in a tournament for boys born in 2006 — competing against players around three years older and helping her team finish as district runners-up.

As a third-grader, Lena made a guest appearance with the Top Dance Juniorzy group in a routine fittingly called “Champions League.”

Before turning seven, Lena was a laureate in both a local “Prettiest Easter Egg” competition and a “Prettiest Easter Palm” competition.

Her Tymbark Cup journey went from being named the best U8 player in the regional finals to scoring an extraordinary 24 goals and becoming the U10 top scorer a few years later.

When Lena received Poland’s Best Young Player award, she publicly thanked her parents and said that she was standing on that stage because of them.
