Valeria Miranda

She was born in Mexico City and began playing football at a young age, joining Pumas UNAM’s youth system at just 8 years old.

Before the professionalization of the women's game in Mexico, she played collegiate soccer in the United States at Tyler Junior College in Texas.

She was part of the Mexican national team that secured a gold medal at the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games.

Miranda reached a milestone of over 100 appearances in Liga MX Femenil across her career with various clubs.

She has represented Mexico across multiple age levels, including the Sub-17, Sub-20, and senior national teams.

Valeria is a big dog lover and has a pet of her own.

Following the birth of her daughter Emma in 2023, Miranda has become a vocal advocate for the rights of "footballer moms," frequently speaking about the physical and logistical hurdles of returning to top-flight competition.
