Lisa Evans

Glasgow City

Evans joined Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) powerhouse side Glasgow City in August 2008. She originally started to play for the club's reserve team which won the second division with a 100% record, making her first team debut in 2009. Evans was also among the first scholarship recipients to the Scottish FA's National Women's Football Academy at the University of Stirling, where she studied Sports Science. During her time at Glasgow City, the club won the Scottish Women's Premier League four times (2009 to 2012), the SWPL Cup twice (2009 and 2012) and the Scottish Women's Cup twice (2009 and 2011). Evans also won the Glasgow City 2011 Young Player of the Year award. She was also part of the Glasgow side which reached the last sixteen stage of the UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time, which provided an idea of her talents to a wider audience. Evans left Glasgow having scored 46 goals in 39 regular season games.

Turbine Potsdam

In February 2012, German Frauen-Bundesliga champions Turbine Potsdam invited Evans for a trial, after spotting her in their 17–0 UEFA Women's Champions League aggregate win over Glasgow City. On 12 June 2012, it was revealed that she had signed a professional contract with Potsdam. In December 2012 Evans's contract was extended by a further two years; at the time of the extension, Turbine's veteran coach Bernd Schröder described being impressed by the start Evans had made: "It means we're able to secure…

Evans made her debut with the Scottish national team against Wales in October 2011. In February 2012 Evans scored her first international goal in a 5–1 friendly win over Northern Ireland in Belfast. She was part of the squad which narrowly failed to qualify for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 with a late defeat in the qualification play-off. Evans scored three goals for Scotland during UEFA qualifying for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. Scotland finished second in their qualifying group and advanced to the UEFA play-offs where they were eliminated by the Netherlands. In 2017, Scotland qualified for the European Championship for the first time ever. Evans was named to the Scotland squad for Euro 2017 and appeared in all three group games. This was followed by qualifying directly for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup after winning their group. Evans was selected for the Scottish world cup squad on 15 May 2019. In Scotland's opening World Cup match against rivals England, Evans provided the assist to Claire Emslie, who scored Scotland's first World Cup goal.

Born in Perth, to Richard and Kate, Lisa Evans played as a youth with local team St Johnstone Women (where she played alongside future international teammate Lana Clelland).

Evans was in a relationship with former Bayern Munich and Arsenal teammate Vivianne Miedema, an international with Netherlands, for six years. In November 2021, Evans joined the charity movement Common Goal, committing 1% of her salary to community organisations working with young people. Evans said she and Miedema "want to be happy and constructive human beings off the pitch. Common Goal is the perfect platform to create change through football in a collective, sustainable way." In 2021 on the We Play Strong Channel, she said that she was studying part-time in Sport, Health and Fitness via an online course.

Scottish FA Girls Soccer Centres

The Scottish FA launched dedicated Girls' Soccer Centres across Scotland before Euro 2017 to increase participation in football among primary school-aged girls across Scotland. Evans was appointed as an ambassador for the East Region covering Angus, Dundee, Fife, and her hometown area of Perth & Kinross.

We Play Strong

Evans is one of UEFA's official ambassadors for #WePlayStrong, a social media and vlogging campaign which was launched in 2018. The campaign's "...aim is to promote women's football as much as we can and to make people aware of women's football, really," Evans explains. "The ultimate goal is to make football the most played sport by females by 2020. So it's a UEFA initiative to get more women and girls playing football, whether they want to be professional or not."
