Ana Macarena Rodríguez Pérez (born 10 June 1978 in Mendoza, Argentina) is an Argentine field hockey player. She competed for the Argentina national field hockey team for the first time in counted matches during Sergio Vigil's coaching years, but returned to the team with Carlos Retegui in 2010, winning the 2010 World Cup and the silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[1] Macarena also won three Champions Trophy (2010, 2012 and 2014) and two Pan American Cups.
In 2014, Macarena was chosen as the new team's captain as soon as Santiago Capurro started as coach, succeeding 8-time FIH Player of the Year winner Luciana Aymar, who decided to retire after the 2014 Women's Hockey Champions Trophy.[2]
