Club career

Bailey began playing in the top division in Panama as a 15-year-old and has spent much of her career in the country, [5] including earning multiple titles with Tauro FC and Santa Fe. On the back of Santa Fe's 2024 title, Bailey featured heavily in the subsequent title-winning campaign in the 2024 UNCAF Women's Interclub Championship and tougher 2024–25 CONCACAF W Champions Cup group stage.

International career

Bailey appeared in three matches for Panama at the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship, [1] [4] making 24 saves. [6] She won the tournament's Golden Glove award and was named to its Best XI. [7] Previously a midfielder, she was converted to goalkeeper by head coach Victor Suárez only a year before the tournament. [8]

Panama ended up fourth, advancing to a playoff against CONMEBOL side Argentina for a place in the 2019 Women's World Cup. In the 8th minute of the first leg Bailey saved a penalty from Estefanía Banini. The match finished 4-0 for Argentina, though, and after a 1-1 draw at home Panama was eliminated.

Bailey would then backstop Panama though the following World Cup campaign, with the team once again needing to go through the play-offs after the CONCACAF Championship. This time, Panama won both of their play-off matches, successfully qualifying for the World Cup for the first time. At the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, Bailey played all three group stage matches but failed to advance from a group that included both Brazil and France.

The qualification was organised by CONCACAF, the Central American Football Union (UNCAF), and the Caribbean Football Union (CFU). Because the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship also served as the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, the Championship qualification also served as the first World Cup qualifying stage. Martinique and Guadeloupe were not eligible for World Cup qualification, as they were only members of CONCACAF and not FIFA.
