Nine years on from Blanca Félix's dream Chivas Femenil debut | OneFootball

Great stories have unforgettable beginnings. On September 3, 2017, Blanca Félix began hers with Chivas Femenil, making a debut worthy of the figure she is today within the Rebaño and in the heart of the entire Rojiblanca Nation.

Nine years later, we remember that day when the first page in the story of the Guadalajara-born goalkeeper with the team she loves was written.

Blanca Félix’s debut with Chivas Femenil

As if it were a true sign of things to come, Blanca Félix’s professional debut came in a 6-0 thrashing of Santos on Matchday 6 of the Apertura 2017 at Verde Valle.

A dream scoreline for any debut and, for Blanca, a first glimpse of what she would come to represent between the posts. The Rojiblanca kept a clean sheet and from her very first minutes conveyed the assurance that, over the years, would become one of her greatest virtues as a goalkeeper.

Since then, Blanca Félix has enjoyed great moments as a Rojiblanca and has been a key piece in winning three titles. In the Apertura 2017, she lifted the first championship in Liga MX Femenil history, while in the Clausura 2022 she was crowned again in the women’s league and played a starring role by saving a decisive penalty in the Final.

To these achievements she added the 2021-2022 Campeón de Campeones, where her saves proved decisive in Guadalajara’s penalty-shootout victory over Rayadas de Monterrey.

But her legacy goes far beyond the field. Her personality, charisma, and passion for the colors have made her one of the most beloved players among the Rojiblanca fanbase and a role model for the new generations of Chivahermanas.

Today, in addition to guarding the Rebaño’s goal, she wears the captain’s armband and remains one of the most iconic and outstanding players in the history of Chivas Femenil.
