Washington, D.C. - Washington Spirit midfielder Leicy Santos has been called up to the Colombia Women's National Team for the federation's June/July friendlies, Colombia Football announced this week. The side will visit Mexico for two friendly matches beginning later this month.
Santos has been a mainstay of the Colombia roster, representing the country in two FIFA Women's World Cups (2015, 2023) and two Olympic Games (2016, 2024). During the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, Santos netted two goals for Colombia, helping the side reach the tournament's quarterfinals. So far this year with the Spirit, Santos has tallied the equalizer in the team's Challenge Cup victory, a game-winning assist at home against Bay FC and a long-distance free kick goal on the road against Louisville.
