Early life
editBorn in Bogotá, Colombia, Pérez moved to Boca Raton, Florida as a young child and started playing soccer when she was eight years old.[3] She played her entire youth career at Team Boca Soccer Club and attended the University of Miami.
Club career
editPérez is a former player of United Women's Soccer club New England Mutiny.[4] She also played for the Team Boca Blast of the WPSL.
At the beginning of 2020, she moved to Italy to compete in Serie A as a member of Fiorentina; however, she did not play any matches due to her suspension because of the coronavirus disease pandemic.[5][6]
On 25 July 2020, her transfer to Napoli was announced.[7] She made her debut for Gli Azzurri in a Coppa Italia match on 27 September against US Città di Pontedera. Her team won the match with a score of 1–0.[8]
Pérez joined Frauen-Bundesliga club Werder Bremen in July 2023.[9]
International career
edit
At the age of 15, Pérez represented Colombia U20 in 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup but did not play any matches.[10]
On 20 May 2015, Pérez was selected in the Colombian U-23 squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.[11] After not playing in the group stage she made her World Cup debut on 22 June 2015, against United States, when the usual starter Sandra Sepúlveda was suspended due to yellow card accumulation.[10] However, Pérez did not play the entire match because in the 47th minute (the beginning of the second half) she brought down US forward Alex Morgan inside the penalty area. This resulted in a penalty for United States and a red card for Pérez, who was dismissed from the game.[12] Abby Wambach eventually missed the penalty but the United States took advantage of having one more player on the field and scored two goals to eliminate Colombia 2–0 in the Round of 16.[13]
