Supporters have flocked to declare the world’s newest ‘sexiest footballer’ after a Serie A club announced her as their newest arrival on social media.
Swedish striker Alice Sondergaard completed her move to Genoa earlier this month and posed for a series of striking photos posted on the club’s Instagram page.
Sondergaard has already made waves at the top level, having received her first call-up for her country at the tender age of 15. She will now look to keep Genoa in the Italian top-flight after they were promoted to the division for the very first time.
Blessed with an eye for goal, Sondergaard was crucial to Bologna’s superb campaign last time out, a club which fought Genoa for a spot in the top-flight until the bitter end.
She previously played for Verona, also in Italy, and scored plenty of goals in Serie B.
But her latest high-profile move has seen her thrust into the spotlight again and supporters were quick to focus on her beauty, even placing her on a pedestal above glamorous Juventus and Switzerland superstar Alisha Lehmann.

Social media users left a series of cheeky comments under the post announcing her arrival
‘It’s official, the most beautiful footballer alive,’ said one Instagram user.
Another cheekily added: ‘Always been a fan of Genoa.’
A third then said: ‘They got me on the women’s team this year.’
Meanwhile, a fourth posted: ‘Subscription right away.’
Until seemingly being dethroned by Swedish sensation Sondergaard, Lehmann had been dubbed the world’s sexiest footballer.
Lehmann, who used to date Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, is Switzerland’s most famous player, boasting 16.7million followers on Instagram and 12m on TikTok.
The duo first began dating back in 2021, before they broke up a year later and rekindled at the start of 2024. However, they reportedly then split again.
She was given her own bodyguard at the Women’s Euros this summer due to her significant popularity. Lehmann is often the target for autographs or selfies.
