Independiente Santa Fe revealed on Tuesday, Oct 6, that four newcomers have joined to tackle the 2026 Libertadores Femenina. The Lions are eyeing their maiden continental crown.
What are Santa Fe’s new signings for the 2026 Libertadores?
Goalkeeper Jimena Ospina, defender Kelly Ibargüen and forwards Wendis Cabrera and Manuela González arrive to boost the squad for the tournament.
Ospina comes from Internacional de Palmira; Ibargüen and González switch from Atlético Nacional, while Cabrera joins from Internacional de Bogotá.
These signings aim to deepen Santa Fe’s roster for the international stage, with the club targeting the Libertadores Femenina trophy. In my view, these additions give Santa Fe the depth it lacked before.
Santa Fe’s opponents in the Libertadores
The Lions sit in Group A alongside Caracas, Colo Colo and Corinthians, a mixed‑nation zone where they hope to progress to the knockout rounds.
When does the Libertadores Femenina take place? Can Santa Fe finally break its final‑match hoodoo?
The 2026 Libertadores Femenina will be staged in Ecuador from Oct 15‑31. Santa Fe enters intent on eclipsing past outings and clinching the title.
Santa Fe knows the pressure of a continental final, having finished runner‑up in 2021 and 2024, falling to Corinthians on both occasions.
Now, with four fresh faces, the club aims to take the decisive step toward its first Libertadores Femenina crown.
