Sofie Junge Pedersen's achievements on the field, including four Scudetti, are matched by her commitment to humanitarian efforts, driving her to become the Guardian's Footballer of the Year for 2024.
"We have a responsibility to try and do at least a little bit for other people. It is a duty I take seriously. Token gestures are simply not enough for me."
Pedersen's commitment to environmental and human rights causes sets her apart, showcasing how elite athletes can use their platform for greater good, rather than just personal glory.
Reflecting on her past, Pedersen says juggling with fire torches at a youth club taught her the importance of challenge and perseverance, traits she embodies as a player.
