Andrea Pereira Cejudo (born 19 September 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Liga MX Femenil side Pachuca and the Spain women's national team.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Born in Barcelona, Pereira made her senior debut with the reserves of RCD Espanyol in 2009. Two years later, she played her first game in Primera División with the first team.

Pereira continued playing for Espanyol during five seasons, until 2016, when she signs a new contract with Atlético de Madrid.

International career

[edit]

Pereira made her senior international debut in March 2016, starting a 0–0 friendly draw with Romania in Mogoșoaia.[2]

She was one of Las 15, a group of players who made themselves unavailable for international selection in September 2022 due to their dissatisfaction with head coach Jorge Vilda, and among the dozen who were not involved 11 months later as Spain won the World Cup.[3][4]
