Biography

Bolaños learned to play football at the age of 10, participating in youth male football schools that were in her native Ventanas since she showed great conditions in the game. On countless occasions she had difficulties in these schools because the boys resisted a woman playing with them. This only made Bolaños take more courage to fight and win a place on the pitch. In 2016, at the age of 13 years, she debuted with the Club 7 de Febrero where she stayed for 3 years. At the beginning of 2019, María José Benítez, who is the coordinator of the El Nacional, spoke with Bolaños' parents so that she can be part of the Puras Criollas and thus play the nascent Superliga Femenina.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pressreader.com/ecuador/el-comercio-ecuador/20190718/282205127471550|title=Nayely Bolaños, la adolescente goleadora}}
