Career

Alicia Cervantes was born on 24 January 1994 in San Ignacio Cerro Gordo, Jalisco.[1]

She made her professional debut playing for Atlas on 29 July 2017 in a match against Guadalajara. Cervantes left Atlas at the end of the tournament because the club management refused to raise her $1500 MXN monthly wage (approximately $60 USD).[2]

In 2019 she moved to Monterrey where she played for two seasons, winning the Apertura 2019 championship with the Rayadas.[3][4]

In June 2020, Cervantes was transferred to Guadalajara.[5]
