Born on June 29, 1999, Lisa Zimouche grew up with her parents and her older sister in Antony, in the suburbs of Paris. Lisa started playing football at Paris Saint-Germain's youth academy. By the age of ten, she was fascinated with street football, freestyle and panna, despite the sport being male-dominated.

By the age of 13, Lisa was taking part in freestyle football competitions, winning a bronze medal at the 2012 Red Bull Street World Final. In 2014, Lisa won the World Female Panna Championship and became the world freestyle female soccer champion. She finally made the brave decision to leave the Paris Saint-Germain academy, opting to pursue her new career and her passion: Street Football.

She started sharing videos on social media platforms, juggling and playing one-on-one in the streets. She is now highly popular with a global reach of 3.7 million followers. Lisa has performed at the most high profile sporting events, against A-List celebrities, athletes, artists such as Usain Bolt, Paul Pogba, Ronaldinho, Drake or Major Lazer and much more.

But, Lisa is more than an athlete. She is a cultural role model and a committed activist. She is now using her voice to advocate for women’s rights, to promote the values of gender equity while at the same time working with girls in the real world to achieve their best potential. Her discipline and the message of women’s empowerment that she is spreading on digital platforms has allowed her to attend the United Nationals Youth Forum at UN Headquarters in April 2019.

As well as being a Laureus Ambassador, Lisa is also an ambassador for French leading non-profit organisation and partner of Laureus Sport for Good, Sport Dans La Ville (SDLV). She is also a member of Common Goal movement and is committed to give 1% of her annual earnings to the movement in order to change the lives of disadvantaged girls around the world.
