Mili Alastra, hand in hand with AM850 Hockey after his arrival at GEBA

2026 is being a year of many changes for Milagros Alastrawho was called to Las Leonas for the first time, after her excellent Junior World Cup at the end of 2025 in which she was chosen “Rising Star of the Year”. In addition, the Mendoza woman had the difficult decision to leave the club of her entire life, UNCuyo.to be part of the process of the senior Argentine national team and that is why he traveled to Buenos Aires to disembark at GEBA, his new club.

In a one-on-one conversation with AM850.com, Mili referred to his arrival at the Mens Sana in 2026: “It’s a great challenge that I set for myself.. It is getting away, I feel, from my comfort zone, from my home, from my club, from my family and from my friends.. “It’s been a year of a lot of new things, but I feel like it’s a challenge for me.”began.

And he continued about his arrival at Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires: “I was received very well at GEBA. The girls and the coaching staff have been with me a lot these days, which are the first while I settle into where I’m going to live. I am so grateful because They opened the doors for me in the best way“I’m very happy.”

The 19-year-old player returned from the Pro League in Australia and immediately, with the help of her parents, moved from Mendoza to Buenos Aires. As she said, Alastra left behind the comfort and the club of his life, UNCuyo, to follow his dream of being in Las Leonaswhere she was called up by Fernando Ferrara in the last list of 36 players heading to the double Pro League window in June.

Mili Alastra was called up to Las Leonas for the first time in January and It already had its official debut in the February window of the Pro League played in Australia: “It was an incredible experience. I am very grateful for the opportunity because you never know what can happen and when it can come back. I had an incredible time, I learned a lot and sharing it with those types of players was crazy, so I came back super happy with the experience, what I learned and everything I brought with me“.

Finally and to close, the new GEBA player, who can be enjoyed through the Disney+ Plan Premium screen in the 2026 Metropolitan Tournament, was excited when talking about what it really means for a 19-year-old player like her to be in Las Leonas: “I saw all of them (The Lionesses) on TV so, for me, training with them is the best thing.. I feel that and I think it must have happened to a lot of players who also joined. Joining that group and learning from the references, who have a lot of experience and have experienced everything, is great.“.
