Catalina Pérez Jaramillo (born 8 November 1994) Colombian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Spanish Primera División club Real Betis and the Colombia women's national team.

Early life[]

Born in Bogotá, Colombia, Pérez moved to Boca Raton, Florida in the United States as a young child and started playing soccer when she was 8 years old.[3]

Club career[]

Pérez is a former player of United Women's Soccer club New England Mutiny.[4]

International career[]

At the age of 15, Pérez represented Colombia U20 in 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup but did not play any matches.[5]

On 20 May 2015, Pérez was selected in the Colombian U-23 squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.[6] After not playing in the group stage she made her World Cup debut on 22 June 2015, against United States, when the usual starter Sandra Sepúlveda was suspended due to yellow card accumulation.[5] However, Pérez did not play the entire match because in the 47th minute (the beginning of the second half) she brought down US forward Alex Morgan inside the penalty area. This resulted in a penalty for United States and a red card for Pérez, who was dismissed from the game.[7] Abby Wambach eventually missed the penalty but the United States took advantage of having one more player on the field and scored two goals to eliminate Colombia 2–0 in the Round of 16.[8]
