Shortly before starting the preparation for the 2021 Copa Libertadores Femenina, Alianza Lima officially announced the incorporation of Maryori Sánchez to face this continental tournament. The national goalkeeper will replace the injured Fiorella Valverde, with the aim of advancing to the final stages of this top club tournament in South America.
Maryori Sánchez has had the opportunity to play for Peruvian clubs such as Sporting Cristal and Universitario, but she has also made the international leap to clubs like Deportivo Cali in Colombia and recently to Academia Sport JC in Ecuador.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper will want to take revenge in this Copa Libertadores, as she was unable to play in the previous edition due to an injury while defending the colors of Universitario.
Through a video on Alianza Lima's Instagram stories, the 'blanquiazul' club announced the incorporation of Maryori Sánchez to the team, who are already in Asuncion for their debut in this Copa Libertadores Femenina against Deportivo Cali.
An interesting fact about Maryori Sánchez's arrival is that she will face her former team Deportivo Cali in her first Libertadores match, so she hopes to be in optimal condition in Alianza Lima's goal.
When does Alianza Lima debut in the Libertadores Femenina
Alianza Lima's debut will take place on Thursday, November 4 at 3:30 PM (Peru time) / 5:30 PM (Asuncion time) against Deportivo Cali.
