Early life

Correa was born to Uruguayan parents in Badajoz, Spain in 1996. At that time, her father, former Uruguay international footballer Gabriel Correa, was playing for AD Mérida. [1] After her father finished his career, her family (which includes an older brother) settled in Murcia, the first Spanish city where her father had played and where her brother was born. [1]

Club career

Nicknamed La Negra (The Black), [2] Correa made her debut for Murcia Féminas in 2010, [3] at age 13 or 14. The team promoted to Segunda División in 2011 and was Group 7 runner-up in the 2012–13 season. On 26 June 2013, she was signed by fellow Segunda División team Sporting Plaza de Argel, [4] where she would spend the next three seasons. In July 2016, she returned to Murcia Féminas. [5] On 10 February 2017, she was signed by Primera División side Fundación Albacete. [6] She made her debut for them on 18 February 2017 in an away lost against Atlético Madrid. [7] She broke the meniscus and the cruciate ligament in early October 2017, [8] after being an unused substitute in the first two league matches of the 2017–2018 season. [9]

International career

Due to her birthplace and her background, Correa is eligible to play for Spain or Uruguay. She chose the latter. In February 2018, she was one of the six Uruguayan players abroad who were reserved to play for the country at the 2018 Copa América Femenina. [10]
