Hold onto your hats, football fans! Alisha Lehmann, the Swiss soccer sensation often hailed as the "world's most beautiful footballer," is about to trade her cleats for a torch.

The 26-year-old, currently dazzling on the field for Como after a summer move from Juventus, has snagged a major gig: becoming a face of the 2026 Winter Olympics!

Yes, you read that right. This isn't some off-season PR stunt. Alisha is officially a torchbearer for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games.

Tournament officials gushed about Lehmann, declaring her "the forward who will lead the way" during the torch relay.

The official Milano Cortina Instagram account even posted a glam shot of Alisha, proclaiming, "I carry the flame!"

The caption sealed the deal: "Alisha Lehmann is officially a Torchbearer for Milano Cortina 2026."

But Alisha won't be hitting the slopes alone. She's joining forces with football royalty – none other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic and former Napoli and Juventus star Ciro Ferrara.

Talk about a dream team of torchbearers!

The Olympic flame's journey has already begun, with a ceremonial start in Greece, paying homage to the Games' ancient origins.

The torch is scheduled to land in Rome on December 5, kicking off its grand tour of Italy.

The epic journey culminates in Milan on February 4, just in time for the opening ceremonies.

So, where exactly will Alisha be carrying the torch? The exact route remains top secret, adding an extra layer of suspense.

The news comes just weeks after Lehmann was the victim of a home burglary. Her Lake Como residence was ransacked while she was out.

Wardrobes and cupboards were emptied, leaving clothes strewn across the floor.

In true Alisha fashion, she responded to the invasion with a touch of humor, joking about her "OCD" and the robbers' messy habits.

Posting a video of the aftermath on Instagram, she quipped, "Next time you rob my house, please clean it up [be]cause I’ve got OCD," complete with crying emojis.

Despite the unsettling incident, Lehmann has been living her best life post-split from ex-Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz.

She's been spotted soaking up the sun on luxurious vacations and even diving headfirst into the Oktoberfest festivities.

But now, it's all eyes on the Winter Olympics. Will she wear a custom tracksuit for the occasion? Will her fans create special banners for her relay leg?

One thing's for sure: Alisha Lehmann is about to bring her signature star power to the Winter Games, proving she's a force to be reckoned with both on and off the pitch.

And we're here for it!
