Today marks eight years since Blanca Félix, the eternal number 12 of Chivas Femenil, made her professional debut. On this day in 2017, a figure was born in the Verde Valle goal that would go on to make history for Guadalajara in the Liga MX Femenil.

History and passion define Blanca in the women's circuit; that's why we're giving you 12 reasons that prove why she is one of the great legends of the Rebaño Femenil.

1. A dream debut: On September 3, 2017, she defended the Rojiblanco goal for the first time in Verde Valle. That afternoon, Chivas thrashed Santos 6-0 and Félix kept a clean sheet, a sign of the unbeatable goalkeeper she would become.

2. First champion with Chivas in the 2017 Apertura: She was a key player in Chivas' first title, when they defeated Pachuca in the final. That championship not only went down in the history of the club, but also in the history of the Liga MX Femenil, as it was the first team to lift the trophy.

8. Call-up to the Mexican National Team (2017): After being crowned champion with Guadalajara in AP17, Blanca received her first call-up to the Senior National Team for the 2018 Central American Games, sharing the call-up with other Rojiblancas such as Tania Morales.

9. 200 games with Chivas Femenil: She became the first player in the club's history to reach this milestone, playing only for the Rebaño, against Rayadas in J17 of CL2024, a game that the Rojiblancas won 0-1.

10. Rojiblanco honors: Blanca has won two league titles (AP17 and CL22) and one Campeón de Campeones (AP21-CL22), establishing herself as one of the most successful players in the history of Chivas Femenil.
