Candela Orlando, the captain of a Pueyrredón that dreams

Pueyrredón’s Primera A is playing the D1 Metropolitan Tournament. In 2025 they finished in 5th position, very close to achieving what every team wants – promotion – but due to things in life it could not be achieved. Candela Orlando is the captain of this team that has a dream intact and knows that together we can achieve great things.

“I have been in Puey for three years, and since I arrived here it feels like my home. The entire club welcomed me, my sisters and another friend who came with us with open arms, so we are very happy with the entire institution and with the girls who literally became our best friends”said the captain. In the game against San Marcos you could hear her family shouting at her from outside, encouraging her non-stop, and although they didn’t manage to add, they are doing it from another side: the human.

Carrying the ribbon is not something he takes lightly. She knows the weight and responsibility that it entails, but she does it with pleasure, since everything is easier with friends by her side. Adapting a year ago to a new coaching staff, with its own ideas and game concepts, the Pueyrredón team does everything possible to win the three points every Saturday. “I think the whole team is in the same harmony, we all know that we can, that it depends on us, so we all maintain temperance, which is a word that recently emerged in the group”he commented.

The Friday before the game with San Marcos they got together to concentrate and do a group dynamic: They had to find someone to represent them. The rebel group of the baptized said “The spark is only one” and it stayed. This team wants to go for everything in 2026, and they know that the only ones who can achieve it are them, and that they have to be more united than ever for that to happen.
