VANCOUVER, BC (January 28, 2025) – Vancouver Rise FC announced Wednesday the signing of Colombian international Camila Reyes. 

“Camila [Reyes] is a hardworking and tenacious midfielder who is excellent at controlling the tempo and finding creative ways to get on the ball,” said Rise FC Sporting Director Stephanie Labbé. “She will bring an international level of technical ability to the team, and I am thrilled to have her a part of Vancouver Rise FC.”  

Reyes, 23, joins from Liga Femenina BetPlay DIMAYOR, Colombia’s top-flight league. The midfielder began her professional journey with Deportivo Cali in 2021, where she made 12 appearances and scored 2 goals as Deportivo Cali claimed an unbeaten league championship. Reyes then moved to fellow Colombian side Santa Fe in 2022, where she made 63 appearances and scored an impressive 21 goals across four seasons.  

"From the first moment, I felt that Vancouver was the right place to be,” said Reyes on her announcement. “I am proud to join this club, and I am excited to face this new challenge with plenty of motivation and with the promise of giving my best for the team.” 

In 2023, Reyes was an integral part of the Santa Fe squad that won the league championship. She scored four playoff goals, including one in the final. She also made five appearances and scored two goals in Santa Fe’s 2024 Copa Libertadores Feminina campaign.

She also appeared in all of Colombia’s matches in the 2025 SheBelieves Cup.  

“Maria is an aggressive midfield player that is forward minded as her first priority, but also invests in her defensive duels with an aggressive mindset,” praised Rise FC Head Coach Anja Heiner-Møller. “She has a high technical level and she is also a goal threat with her powerful shot from the distance, so we are excited to add such an impactful player to our roster.”
