Racing’s women’s team strengthened its ranks with the arrival of Catalina Perez, a Colombian goaltender, who is their tenth rookie for this summer. This signature, formalized this Wednesday and valid until 2026, comes after a series of nine other arrivals, demonstrating a clear desire to strengthen the strength for the second season of the team in the first division. The arrival of 30-year-old Perez, trained in the United States, brings valuable experience gained from successful passages in Italy, Spain, Brazil and Germany. His international rankings are also impressive, including his selection for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as well as for Rio in 2016, London in 2012 and the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

This recruit is part of a context of significant movements within the team. Last June, eleven players had extended their contract, while another 14 had left the club at the end of their contract on 30 June 2025. These successive changes highlight a period of reconstruction and reinforcement for the Alsatian team. The arrival of Catalina Perez, the tenth rookie of the women’s team in Strasbourg after Mama Diop, Fatima Pinto, Ananee Yeboah, Eseosa Aigbogun, Bruna Lourenço, Ines Konaan, Manssita Traoré, Grace Kazadi and Célia Bensalem, is therefore a key element of this development strategy.

In summary, Racing has pursued an active recruitment policy to prepare for the upcoming season. The arrival of Catalina Perez, with her international experience and proven talent, is a major asset for the team. This recruit is in addition to a series of other arrivals and contract extensions aimed at consolidating the workforce and ensuring the competitiveness of the women’s team in the first division. The goal is clear: to build a team capable of competing with the best and continuing its progress.
