Ana Gaby Paz

Her grandfather used to take her to Estadio Jalisco when she was three, which helped make her an Atlas fan from childhood.

She started playing football at school at age seven.

Her favorite movie is Harry Potter.

Sushi is her favorite food.

Her go-to music is pop in both English and Spanish.

She has spoken publicly about living with polycystic ovary syndrome after receiving comments about her weight, using the moment to push back against lazy criticism of women athletes’ bodies.

In 2023, she became a mother, and she later returned to the pitch with her comeback shaped by a clear purpose: to play for herself and to set an example for her son Bastian.
