1. FC Nürnberg Women have signed Argentine national goalkeeper Abigaíl Chaves, making her the first Argentine player ever in the Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga.

  • Chaves joins Nürnberg’s squad as a key winter transfer to strengthen the club’s goalkeeper position, following Larissa Rusek’s departure.
  • The 27-year-old came through the Boca Juniors academy in Argentina and has played professionally in both her home country and Europe, including a spell with Fenerbahçe Istanbul.
  • Her signing marks a historic moment for the Bundesliga — no other Argentine woman has played in Germany’s top women’s league before.
