Diana Rosario Ordóñez Torres (born 26 September 2001), known in the United States as Diana Ordoñez, is an American-born Mexican professional footballer who plays as a forward for National Women's Soccer League club North Carolina Courage and the Mexico women's national team.[3]
Early life[]
Ordoñez was born in Riverside, California, United States, to an Ecuadorian father and an American mother of Mexican descent.[4] She was the youngest of five children. While still a small child, the family moved to Frisco, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. She played soccer for the FC Dallas youth team from 2010 to 2019, winning the U-16 championship in 2017.[5][6][7]
Ordoñez initially committed to play college soccer at Texas A&M University, but was urged instead to play at the University of Virginia by a friend, soccer player Taryn Torres. She finished high school a semester early and enrolled at Virginia in January 2019, barely 17 years old. During her Virginia career (2019-2021) she scored 45 goals, tied for third most all time at the University, although she only played three years of her four year eligibility. In 2021 she was a first team All-American and a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy.[6]
National Women's Soccer League[]
On 18 December 2021, the North Carolina Courage selected Ordoñez sixth overall in the 2022 National Women's Soccer League Draft.[8] Ordonez made her first appearance for the Courage in the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup on 19 March and scored her first goal on 4 May.[9] On 13 August, Ordoñez's 8th goal broke the NWSL record for goals scored in a rookie season.[10]
International career[]
Ordoñez made her senior debut for Mexico women's national team on 9 April 2022.[11]
