Tuck in for tonight’s Soccer Bedtime Story as we follow the extraordinary journey of Ewa Pajor—from chasing a ball across a Polish farm to becoming captain of Poland’s national team at UEFA Euro 2025.

Born outside a small spa town, Ewa trained against a barn wall, outscored the boys, and overcame homesickness and vision loss to become one of Europe’s most feared strikers. With 136 goals at Wolfsburg, a record-breaking transfer to Barcelona, and a history-making goal that sent Poland to their first major women’s tournament, Pajor’s story is one of grit, heart, and belief.

Perfect for young dreamers, soccer fans, and families who love underdog stories, this episode reminds us that greatness can grow anywhere—even in the quietest corners of the countryside.

The Soccer Teacher by Soccer Bedtime Stories



Drift off each night with Soccer Bedtime Stories, where the drama of the pitch becomes a gentle narrative. Created by The Soccer Teacher, Tomek, this podcast weaves the sport's most iconic events into relaxing tales designed for listeners of all ages. Imagine hearing about Lionel Messi's magical dribbles or Cristiano Ronaldo's towering headers not as highlights, but as bedtime adventures. The podcast recounts the tension of a legendary Liverpool comeback or the artistry of a Barcelona passing move, framing them as stories of perseverance and skill. It’s a unique blend for families, sports fans, and kids, transforming the day's excitement into a calming nighttime ritual. Each episode focuses on a specific moment-a goal from Kylian Mbappé that defied belief, a team performance that captured the world's imagination-and tells it with a pace meant to soothe rather than stimulate. You’ll find the familiar rhythms of the game in a new, peaceful context. This isn't analysis or loud commentary; it's the beautiful game repurposed for dreams. Tune in, get comfortable, and let the world’s favorite sport gently carry you away. The stories are all true, but the feeling is pure escape.
