AC Milan midfielder and former Spanish National Team Captain

Champions League winner and the only woman with a football stadium named after her, Vero Boquete has been at the forefront of the women’s football revolution. She lead the petition for FIFA video games to include female players and the player revolt that transformed Spanish women’s football.

FC Juárez Femenil player and Mexico National Team Defender

Formerly of Club America where she won the Mexican league title in 2017/18, Rodriguez has also represented Mexico on two occasions. From Mexico City, Monica has played a big part in Girls United’s arrival in the capital and is the perfect role model for all of our players.

London City Lionesses forward and former England international

Carter has long been an advocate for the need for more opportunities to be made available to the next generation of players, particularly inner city girls and young women. Working with Common Goal, Carter sees Girls United as the perfect organisation to support and continuing to give back to the London community.
