“It’s an honor for me to be an ambassador for the VCF Academy World Cup alongside Gayà.

We look forward to seeing you soon for this unforgettable experience,” she concludes.

VCF ACADEMY'S REFERENT

Pauleta arrived at the Valencia CF Women's Academy at the age of 11, in the under-12 category, the age of the participants in this V VCF Academy World Cup, and grew until debuting with the first team in the 2013/2014 season before accumulating more experience in other clubs to end up returning to Valencia CF Femenino with whom this season she has achieved promotion to the Liga F.
