Weronika Szymaszek (born 17 July 1998) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Serie A Women club Parma and the Poland national team.[2][3][4]

Club career

Having previously trained volleyball, she switched her focus to football when she was seventeen.[5] Szymaszek started playing in Ekstraliga in 2015. During her senior career, she played for Olimpia Szczecin, LFA Szczecin and Pogoń Szczecin.[4] In May 2023, she suffered a cruciate ligaments tear, which kept her sidelined for seven months.[6][7][8][9] She resumed training on 8 January 2024, during a preparatory camp for the spring round.[9]

Szymaszek scored a hat-trick on 9 June 2024, in a 6–0 victory over Rekord Bielsko-Biała.[10][11] During the 2023–24 season, she won the Ekstraliga title with Pogoń.[5][10][12]

On 20 July 2026, Szymaszek joined Italian Serie A club Parma on a free transfer.[13]

International career

In 2017, Szymaszek received call-ups to the Poland under-19 national team.[1] She received her first call-up to the Poland senior team in November 2025.[14] She made her Poland debut against Slovenia in a 1–0 friendly win on 28 November, coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.[15]
