Karen Irasema Luna De Los Santos (born 12 February 1998), known as Karen Luna, is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a defender for Liga MX Femenil side Club América,[1] and the Mexico women's national football team.
Previous to her professional career, Luna was part of the women's football team of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León.[2]
Luna signed her first professional contract with Tigres UANL in 2017, ahead of the first Liga MX Femenil tournament in history.[3] Prior to joining Tigres, Luna declined an offer to join their city rivals, C.F. Monterrey.
During her time at Tigres, Luna made more than 100 appearances over a period of four years and played an important role in the club's success, contributing to four league championships.[4] Luna decided to part ways with Tigres at the conclusion of the Guard1anes 2021 tournament due to the limited playing time she was receiving in the last few tournaments.[5]
Luna joined Club América on 21 June 2021.[6] At América, Luna quickly adjusted and became an important part of the team within her first season under then-manager Craig Harrington. Luna was a key player for América to obtain its second league title in history during the Clausura 2023 tournament by starting all the liguilla games including the final.[7] [8]
Luna was called to the Mexico women's national football team by manager Pedro López for the first time on 24 January 2024 for a training camp ahead of the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup.[9] She was officially included in Mexico's squad for the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup on 10 February 2024.[10]
Luna made her debut with Mexico on 21 February 2024, during the inaugural match of the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup against Argentina.[11] She scored her first goal with Mexico on 26 February 2024, in a 0–8 victory against Dominican Republic for the second match of the group stage of the tournament.[12]
