The Juventus forward is part of Switzerland's squad at the tournament, which is being played in their home country, but has played just nine minutes of action so far as the Swiss booked their spot in the quarter-finals.
Despite having little impact on the pitch so far, Lehmann is causing a stir off it as her 16.8million Instagram followers try and catch a glimpse of her.
Sven Micosse, a press spokesperson for the Swiss women's national team, has revealed that private security has been hired as a result.
Speaking to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Micosse said: "We always ensure that the safety of the players is our top priority in all stadiums.
"This is organized by UEFA during the tournament, and our head of security is always on site.
"After the matches, he is always there when the players approach the fans, and due to Alisha Lehmann's fame, he sometimes accompanies them a little further."
Bild have reported that Lehmann is often seen near a "man in a suit" that focuses on her safety.
Lehmann, who has been dubbed 'the world's sexiest footballer', has unfortunately been subject to abuse as a result of her rising profile.
The former Aston Villa star has been criticised for "over-the-top" celebrations during Juventus' title-winning jubilation this season - with fans pointing to her limited involvement in the success.
Lehmann played just 37 minuted for Juve since the turn of the year.
Other abuse towards the social media star and pro footballer has come following her lack of involvement with the Swiss national team during the Euros.
Lehmann, who was called up to the squad on late notice following an injury to FC Koln midfielder Alena Bienz, has been unfairly targeted for her lack of involvement in the tournament.

Golden Boot winner to substitute - England's Mead on role 'shift'
England forward Beth Mead's role at Euro 2025 is very different to the one she enjoyed three years player of the tournament and winner of the Golden Boot, Mead played a starring role in England's success at Euro stunning performances were capped off with six goals and five assists - the most in the led to countless honours including being named the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, as well as coming runner-up in the Ballon d'Or and Uefa Player of the Year Awards. But so far in Switzerland, 30-year-old Mead has started just one of England's four games, scoring once in the 6-1 Group D win over has adapted to a new role as one of Sarina Wiegman's 'finishers' - a term the squad use to express the importance of the substitutes."You've got to be ready to go into the moment," Arsenal forward Mead told BBC Sport. "You've got to be ready to go into a position that you might not want to play or don't normally play in and that was what was different for me [against Sweden]. "I ended up playing in midfield as a number six and then I was a number 10 - I changed position a few times in the game and I loved it. "I love being on the pitch, I love being able to do what I can do for the team but they're the things that you have to be able to do as a player. "You have to expect the unexpected and be willing to do what you need to do for the team and the greater good."England's substitutes have played a key role in Switzerland, scoring three goals en route to the Euro 2022, England substitutes have scored four result-altering goals - all in knockout games - which is more than any other is up to Mead, among others, to continue to provide Wiegman with squad depth."It's not easy when you know you're not starting and you're playing well or whatever but I think that's what has set us apart as a team," she added. "The togetherness, the willingness to try to make each other better, to try to make each other feel like we can figure it out."That's something that I've also seen as a shift of my role. I really know how important that is - from being a starter to being competitive in training - to make us better. So far I think we're doing a good job of that."
