Very often we receive requests from sports brands who need models with a trim figure, with pronounced abs, with pumped up muscles. If the girls listed below were in my modeling base, I would certainly send them to sports brands for shoots. Athletes have no trouble posing in motion, expressing emotion through their gaze and showing the camera their athletic spirit.

Irina Podshibyakina

As a child, the defender of the Lokomotiv women’s national team had a choice between soccer and drawing. The athlete’s mom saw a great creative potential in her daughter, so for some time Irina went to art school. However, sitting with a brush at the easel was not as interesting to her “as going out to play ball with the boys in the yard.

When the sports school recruited a women’s soccer team, Irina did not hesitate to quit painting. Now she writes only to relieve herself and release her emotions, and shoots for brands help her realize her creativity.

The expert notes the correct facial features and beautiful outlined cheekbones Irina. Also the soccer player has a classic beauty, allowing to work with jewelry brands.

Nadezhda Karpova

Nadezhda Karpova began her career in Yaroslavl, where no one believed in her success. But in 2018, as part of the project “Messi chose them” got into the team of the 10 best young players according to the Argentine footballer, becoming the only girl in this list. After that, almost everyone learned about her.

The girl gave dozens of interviews and starred for the covers of fashion magazines Numero and Harper’s Bazaar. Now she is known not only as a striker of the Russian national team and a player of the Spanish club “Espanyol”, but also as an ambassador of the brand adidas and a friend of the fashion house Chanel. In the interview the footballer admitted that she is open to work with serious brands and is ready to advertise goods that will be useful to her audience.

Eugenia: Nadezhda’s sensual lips and tough look are a fiery mix for fashion shoots. The soccer player could star for the campaigns of high fashion brands. Her power face would be suitable for Balenciaga, Gucci, Armani, etc.

Lina Yakupova

Lina has been practicing soccer since she was 10 years old. During her sports career she graduated from the Olympic Reserve School, played for Russian soccer teams, became the winner of the Russian Cup and silver medalist of the Russian championship.

Now she plays in the women’s soccer team “Zenit” and achieves incredible success: in her final season the player scored six goals in 11 matches and led the St. Petersburg club to the leaders in the Women’s Super League. In her free time Lina enjoys martial arts, skating, cycling and wakeboarding.

Bright facial features, an open look and a wide smile would allow Lina to succeed not only in sports, but also in modeling. The expert notes that the soccer player has gorgeous hair, so she would easily pass the castings of hair care brands.

Anna Desyatnik

Anna was born in the Krasnodar region and started practicing soccer in the local club Uspenochka. Her career quickly moved forward: in three years, from a member of the Russian junior national team Anna became a player of Krasnodar soccer club.

But the southern appearance and expressive facial features of the soccer player can not go unnoticed. She could take part in commercial shoots and become an ambassador of a sports brand, as she will definitely be remembered by the buyer. In addition, the expert notes that Anna could take part in catalog shoots and advertise hair care brands.

Yulia Myasnikova

Julia started playing soccer thanks to her grandfather, who brought her to the stadium near her home and enrolled her in the women’s soccer section. Now she is a titled athlete, defender of CSKA soccer club and the national team of Kazakhstan. She has been repeatedly recognized as one of the most beautiful soccer players in Russia and Kazakhstan, which is very important for Yulia herself:

I didn’t even have any thoughts of cutting my hair short, as it is now fashionable in women’s soccer clubs. I like all sorts of feminine things: manicure, pedicure, massage, spa treatments, long eyelashes.

Yulia’s beauty is also transmitted through the camera. The footballer often publishes pictures from photo shoots, where she presents herself from different angles.

Expert: The modeling world has changed a lot now, and it is more difficult for tall girls to find a job, because brands are getting closer to people and potential customers. Soccer players have a height range from 165 to 170 centimeters. This is a normal height for those who want to shoot for clothing brands.

You also need to understand that not every beautiful girl with an athletic figure can be a model. For me, the most important thing is for a girl to understand how to stand up to get a good photo in one shot. Externally, every soccer player is suitable for modeling for sure, but you will probably have to work on posing.
