Sofia grew up in Medellín watching Colombian football and has been covering the sport across three continents for the last eight years. She specializes in South American talent, the business side of transfers, and why European clubs keep missing obvious opportunities. Her writing combines stats with human storytelling - she doesn't just tell you a player is good, she tells you why and what it means. She speaks five languages and uses that to get stories others miss.
