Sandra Paños, ready to represent Club América

Sandra Panosa 31-year-old former Barça goalkeeper, started her pre-season training this Saturday with her new club, Club América Femenil. She arrived in Mexico on Thursday and signed a contract on Friday, ahead of her official presentation.

“I wanted to experience something new, especially on a personal level. It’s a completely different thing and moving to Mexico’s top club felt like the perfect change,” she told TUDN.

She mentioned that her former teammate at Barça, Andrea Pereirawho recently left Club América after two seasons, gave her positive feedback: “Since we were at Barça in pre-season, I’ve had a lot of conversations with Andrea Pereira and she’s enlightened me on everything. She had a lot of good things to say. I’ve been really happy here, very satisfied. Ultimately, it’s about being in a place where you really feel valued and loved.”

“My goal is to contribute and help America “I think it’s a fantastic institution. As I mentioned, it’s the top team here. They’re making great progress. There’s a strong commitment to win titles. Although it’s been difficult to follow the matches due to the scheduling, I’ve tried to follow the last two tournaments. They made it to the finals, although they couldn’t get the win. But being consistent in that position is crucial. It’s not an easy task. I’m here to do my part and give everything to secure a win.”
