Sixteen-year-old Isabel from Bradford-on-Avon has cemented her place among the world’s top freestyle footballers, winning her second consecutive world championship title and becoming a beacon of inspiration for young athletes.

Isabel, who first took up freestyle football in 2020 during the Covid lockdowns, claimed her latest victory at the Super Ball World Open in Liberec, Czech Republic, this August. She made history in 2023 as the youngest female world champion after winning the same competition in Prague at just 15.

Reflecting on her back-to-back victories, she said, “It’s amazing to win again. I want to show young people that anything is possible.”

Isabel’s rapid rise in the sport — from pandemic beginner to global champion in just a few years — is being celebrated as a shining example of resilience, passion, and dedication in the face of challenges.
