Giselle Mercedes White is an Argentine-American footballer who plays as a forward. She has represented Argentina at youth international level, progressing from the U17 team to the U20 World Cup squad.
Football is not Giselle’s only sport — she also played varsity flag football at Analy High School as both a wide receiver and quarterback, and served as a team captain.
Giselle’s choice of college began with a coaching video: she heard Oregon coach Tracy Joyner say “my style of play is winning,” a line that immediately caught her attention.
Her youth soccer career took her from Northern California all the way to England, where she was selected for a NorCal PDP trip and faced youth teams from Manchester United, Everton, Aston Villa and Brighton.
Giselle’s first high-school soccer season was disrupted by injury, but she returned to become one of Analy’s most dangerous scorers, including a hat-trick against Cardinal Newman.
Her first U20 World Cup place was far from automatic — Giselle spent two weeks in Argentina’s final training camp fighting for a spot before making the 21-player squad for Poland 2026.
