Manuela Paví is a Hammer!
The Club's new No11 arrives with plenty of international pedigree despite her relatively young age of 23. She represented Colombia in all four of their matches at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, scoring against France as the South American nation made it to the quarter-finals of the competition, losing out on penalties to current world champions Spain. The forward also represented her nation at the 2024 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
At Club level, she began her career with Orsomarso Sportivo Clube before joining Deportivo Cali in 2020. She has also featured for Brazilian side Atlético Mineiro before re-joining Las Azucareras earlier this year.
Paví helped Deportivo Cali to Colombian Women's Football League titles in 2021 and 2024, playing a starring role in both campaigns. In 2021, she helped her side go unbeaten to secure the trophy and, earlier this month, Paví scored two goals in her final match of the Colombian season against Santa Fe to help seal their second domestic crown.
