Elena Iuliana Pavel (born 26 March 1984) is a Romanian international football defender currently playing for Sporting Huelva in the Spanish league.[1] She previously played for CFF Clujana, with whom she played the UEFA Women's Cup, and Motorul Oradea.
She first played with the Romanian national team in the last match of the 2001 European Championship qualifying against Estonia. In the 2011 World Cup qualifying she scored against Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2]
In January 2016 Pavel was annoyed when the male referee asked her on a date during a Primera División match versus Santa Teresa CD. Unimpressed by his advances ("Hey brown hair, let's get coffee this afternoon") Pavel answered: "Better stick to blowing your whistle".[3]
