Katrina Jacqueline Rivera Guillou (born December 19, 1993) is a footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or forward for Swedish Damallsvenskan club Piteå IF. Born in the United States, she represents the Philippines women's national team.

Early life and education

Guillou was born to a Filipino mother, Lorna (née Rivera), and a French father, Yves Guillou, in Washington, D.C.[2][3] A native of Fort Washington, Maryland, she attended the Bishop Ireton High School in Virginia for her secondary studies and later the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) for her collegiate studies.[2]

College career

From 2012 to 2015, Guillou played for the UNC Wilmington Seahawks women's soccer (football) team which competes in the Colonial Athletic Association Division 1.[4] In her senior year, she helped the Seahawks secure an at-large berth for the NCAA Division I.[2]

Club career

After graduating from UNCW, Guillou signed up to play for Finnish club Oulu Nice Soccer in 2016.[5][6] She moved to Sweden to play for Morön BK[7] and in December 2020 moved to Piteå IF.[8]

International career

When she was still a college player, her coach convinced her to join a national team. Two years prior to the Asian Cup, she sent the Philippine Football Federation a highlight reel of her earlier part of her stint in Sweden which led to her securing a Philippine passport in order for her to be able to play for the national team.[9]

Guillou made her first cap for the Philippines in the national team's 1–0 win against Thailand at the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup.[10] In that same tournament, she scored her first international goal for the Philippines in their final group match, a 6–0 win against Indonesia.[11] On April 11, 2022, Guillou scored her first international hat-trick in a friendly against Fiji, which the Philippines won 8–0.[12]

Guillou played for the Philippines in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. In their opening match against Switzerland, Guillou scored in the 16th minute but was offsides.[13]
