Frame Film is working on a new documentary about Lia Wälti, one of the most influential figures in Swiss women's football. The film follows the captain of the Swiss national team on her extraordinary journey.
An Extraordinary Career
Lia Wälti has established herself as one of the most successful Swiss female footballers. Her career took her from SC Derendingen to FC Zürich, then to 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam, and finally to Arsenal WFC in the English Women's Super League, where she became a key player.
As captain of the Swiss national team, she has led the team to historic successes and inspires a new generation of female athletes. The documentary "LIIIIAAA" – named after the characteristic chant of the fans – traces this remarkable story.
About the Project
The documentary combines exclusive insights into Lia Wälti's sporting daily life with her personal story. It addresses not only her sporting highs and lows, but also the development of women's football in Switzerland and worldwide.
"The film aims to show what it means to forge your own path as a woman in elite sports – with all the challenges and triumphs that come with it."
