Swiss star Alisha Lehmann has been given a personal bodyguard for the Women's European Championship.
According to Lent.az, citing foreign media, 26-year-old Lehmann is one of the most popular female footballers in the world. Although Lehmann has not yet made a significant impact on the field for the Swiss national team, 16.8 million "Instagram" followers outside its borders try to see her.
Swiss women's team spokeswoman Sven Mikosse said a private guard had been hired due to the increased interest in the girl.
"The safety of the players in all stadiums has always been our top priority. During the tournament, the head of security is always on the field. After the games, when the players approach the fans, he is always there and sometimes accompanies them thanks to Alisha Lehmann's fame."
