Daniela Carrandi Casillas is a Mexican footballer who plays as a forward.
Her nickname is “Carra.”
She was part of the first generation of Atlético San Luis Femenil after the club’s rise to the top flight in 2019.
By October 2023, she had played 126 matches for Atlético San Luis, the most in the club’s women’s history at that point.
She joined Xolos in late 2023 because she felt she needed a “change of air” both as a person and as a player.
A close friend from primary school was the reason she first looked seriously at football.
She has described herself as “very social” and “hyperactive” as a child, the kind of kid who could switch from dolls to running and jumping for hours.
Gender stereotypes nearly kept her out of the game at the start, but her mother pushed her to go for it.
When she first heard Mexico might get a professional women’s league, she thought it sounded too good to be true and assumed it was fake.
One of her long-term football dreams has been to play in Europe, and she specifically named Atlético de Madrid as the club she imagined herself with.
