Eija Vartiainen

Towering at 194cm, this Finnish wall utilizes lightning-fast reflexes and flawless hands to dominate the penalty area, even if her timing when rushing out can sometimes leave the goal exposed. Having learned to sharpen her focus after losing her lucky collection of 500 decorative thimbles as a child, she channeled that frustration into an obsessive pursuit of perfection between the posts. Her infectious energy radiates across the pitch, turning every save into a defiant statement of her elite status.
