Club career

Early career

Like many girls, Paz started playing football, beginning by playing on teams with boys at the Colinas Solymar and Cruz Azul clubs. Later, in women's football, she played for several clubs in her native country such as Nacional (where she participated in editions of the Copa Libertadores), Alumni, River Plate Montevideo and Colón. [1]

Paz would soon cross the pond to become part of the Racing de Córdoba women's team, where she competed in the Liga Cordobesa de Fútbol and scored more than one hundred goals with the team. In 2016, she left the pitch to become a mother and after the COVID-19 pandemic she completely withdrew from professional football. [1]

Belgrano

In 2023, Paz had the opportunity to return to professional football after several years playing as an amateur, joining Belgrano. She signed her first professional contract with the club to play in the Campeonato Femenino. [1]

In the Clausura 2025 season, Belgrano won their first Campeonato Femenino league title, marking Paz's first league title in her career, in which she scored the second goal in the final. [2] [3]

International career

Once the Campeonato Femenino season began in 2023, Paz played in every match, which led to her being called up to the Uruguay national team to play two matches against Peru, where she scored a goal. [4] [5]

On 13 June 2025, Paz was called up to the Uruguay squad for the 2025 Copa América Femenina. [6] Her team qualified for the semi-finals, where they lost to Brazil. [7] [8]
