Jasmine Pereira

The physicality and pace of Jasmine make her a handful for any defence and the talented teenager is a key weapon for New Zealand, whether used as a starter or off the bench as an impact player.

Jasmine featured in two of New Zealand's three matches at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and has also worn the silver fern at U-17 and U-20 level.

Her first sporting passion was netball but she tried her hand at football while a student at Avondale College and took quickly to the beautiful game.

Rio 2016 was her first Olympic Games.
