Kinga Maculewicz-De La Fuente (née Maculewicz; born 25 May 1978) is a French former volleyball player, a member of France women's national volleyball team between 1994 and 2011.
She was born in Kraków, Poland, but she grew up in France. Her parents are Krystyna Maculewicz, a Polish former volleyball player and bronze medalist at the 1971 European Championship, and retired Polish footballer Henryk Maculewicz. She has an older half-sister, Monika. At age 18, she found out her biological father was Polish volleyball coach Andrzej Niemczyk; because of that she has three more half-sisters, also volleyball players: Małgorzata (born 1969), Saskia, and Natascha (born 1990).[1] Natascha holds German nationality like her mother. She is married to Spanish volleyball player and 2007 European champion Enrique de la Fuente.
