María Valenzuela Continues as FC Badalona Women’s Goalkeeper

María Valenzuela will continue to defend the FC Badalona Women goal next season. After stepping up following Antonia Canales' injury last February, the Granada-born goalkeeper became a key figure for the team.

Valenzuela started 12 matches, consistently demonstrating composure, character and reliability in crucial moments. Her performances were instrumental in maintaining the team's defensive solidity, recording 8 clean sheets across league and cup competitions while conceding an average of just one goal every 70 minutes.

María's contract extension ensures the continuity of a goalkeeper who rose to the challenge of protecting the Ona's goal and will continue to bring hard work, commitment and security between the posts. Among her standout performances was an outstanding display in the Copa de la Reina semi-final against FC Barcelona, where her crucial saves played a decisive role in securing a goalless draw (0-0).
