Career
Yamila Badell is the daughter of former footballer Gustavo Badell. She started playing baby football at the club Playa Honda, facing boys.[2] She later joined Colón Football Club of the AUF. In 2015 she emigrated to Spain to play for Málaga for half a season.[3][4] She returned to Colón in 2016 and the club won its fourth consecutive Uruguayan Championship.
Yamila participated in the 2012 South American Under-17 Women's Championship in Bolivia, where she was crowned the tournament's top scorer with 9 goals,[5] and together with her teammates achieved the historical first qualification of a Uruguayan women's team to a FIFA World Cup.[2][6]
In the U-17 World Cup, played in Azerbaijan, Uruguay lost its three matches, but Yamila managed to score twice in the last match against Germany (a 2–5 defeat), thus marking the first goal by a Uruguayan in a FIFA Women's World Cup.[7]
