Aylín Ariana Avilez Peña (born 18 May 2003) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a forward or midfielder for Liga MX Femenil side Club América and the Mexico women's national team.[2] [3]
Previous to her professional career, Avilez played amateur football in her native Culiacán and in Baja California.
In 2018, Liga MX Femenil side Monterrey invited Avilez to a trial to see if she could join the team, but she was not selected. Monterrey eventually signed Avilez on 29 May 2018, after her noteworthy performances with the Mexico U-15 women's national team, as well as being selected to be part of the Mexico U-17 squad that would end up participating in the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship.[4] [5]
Avilez made her professional debut with Monterrey at the age of 15 on 19 August 2018,[6] during a league match against Querétaro as part of the Apertura 2018 tournament. During this match, Avilez also scored her first goal with the club. During her first few years with Monterrey, Avilez was mostly used as a sub. In this form she help her club win the Apertura 2019 title, Monterrey's first. Avilez got a more prominent role with Monterrey after Eva Espejo took over as manager. Under Espejo, Avilez helped her team win the Apertura 2021 tournament and became a more prolific goal scorer. As a result of this, the league awarded Avilez the best young player of the season award for her performances throughout the Liga MX Femenil 2021–22 season.[7]
During her time with Monterrey, Avilez scored 56 goals in 158 official league matches.
Avilez signed with Club América on 10 July 2023, after not renewing contract with Monterrey.[8] [9]
Avilez has been part of the Mexico women's national team program since the U-15 level. In 2018, Avilez was selected to be part of the Mexico women's national under-17 football team that participated in the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship, where Mexico obtained the second place of the tournament as well as an spot in the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[10]
Avilez was also part of the Mexico team that finished as runners-up of the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Uruguay, losing the final against Spain.[11] Avilez played all of Mexico's six matches, but scored no goals.[12]
Avilez made her debut for the senior Mexico women's national team on 10 October 2022 as a 87th-minute substitution in a 1–1 friendly home draw against Chile.[13]
