Angelique Montserrat Saldivar Pavón (born 20 September 2006), known as Montserrat "Montse" Saldivar, is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a left-back or left-winger for Liga MX Femenil side Club América and the Mexico women's national football team.[1]

Club career

[edit]

In 2018, Club América intended to sign Saldivar with the goal of integrating her as part of their soon-to-be-created U-15 and U-17 teams, which were planning to participate in the upcoming youth division of Liga MX Femenil. However, due to a major delay in the creation of this youth division, the club decided to not sign Saldivar.[2]

In 2020, Saldivar received an invitation from then Club América manager, Leonardo Cuéllar, to a training tryout with América's first-team after successfully completing a previous tryout at a scouting event. Saldivar impressed Cuellar enough during the tryout that América decided to signed her.[3]

Club América (2021–present)

[edit]

Saldivar joined América in 2021 and was initially integrated with the U-17 team. She was moved up to America's first-team ahead of the Liga MX Femenil's Apertura 2021 tournament on 16 July 2021.[4] Saldivar made her professional debut with América at the age of 14 on 16 August 2021, in a match against Pachuca in which she was part of the starting line-up.[5]

International career

[edit]

Saldivar has been part of the Mexico women's national football team program since the U-17 level. She was part of the Mexico U-17 team that participated on the 2022 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship and 2022 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[6][7]

Since 2023, Saldivar has been part of the Mexico U-20 team.[8] She was part of the Mexico team that participate at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, in which she started all four games that Mexico played during this tournament, and scored one goal and gave three assists.[9]

Saldivar was called to the senior national team for the first time on 18 October 2024, for friendlies against Venezuela and Thailand.[10] She made her debut with the senior team on 26 October 2024, in the match against Venezuela.[11]
