Who is Elene Lete?

New London City Lionesses goalkeeper Elene Lete has an impressive C.V. at the age of 23.

She made 50 appearances during her time with Real Sociedad and has represented Spain at every level.

Lete made her senior debut in a 3-0 victory over the Czech Republic in 2023. She has yet to be selected for a major international tournament.

For Women’s Euro 2025, Spain selected goalkeepers Esther Sullastres, Catalina Coll, and Adriana Nanclares.

In the 2021-22 season, she was awarded the Zamora Trophy by Spanish outlet Marca, given to the goalkeeper with the lowest goals-to-games ratio in the top-flight.

She kept 11 clean sheets, conceded just 0.6 goals per game, and played a pivotal role in helping Real Sociedad qualify for the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.
