Vanina Noemí Correa (born 14 August 1983) is an Argentine former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Correa has played for Renato Cesarini, Boca Juniors, Social Lux, Rosario Central and San Lorenzo in her country.

In the second half of 2022, she had a stint on loan with Universidad de Chile.{{cite web |title=La U cerró su mercado con el flamante fichaje de la argentina Vanina Correa |url=https://www.alairelibre.cl/noticias/deportes/futbol/universidad-de-chile/la-u-cerro-su-mercado-con-el-flamante-fichaje-de-la-argentina-vanina/2022-09-23/103526.html |website=alairelibre.cl |publisher=Radio Cooperativa |access-date=12 November 2023 |language=es |date=23 September 2022}}

International career

She played the inaugural match of the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup against Germany, which Argentina lost 11–0, the biggest defeat in the history of the tournament until Thailand lost 13–0 to the United States in 2019. The following year she was the starting goalkeeper in the 2008 Summer Olympics women's football tournament.{{FIFA player|199325}}

When Argentina failed to qualify for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, Correa retired from football the following year. She was persuaded into a national team comeback in 2017, when coach Carlos Borrello encountered her at a domestic fixture. She played in all seven of Argentina's matches at the 2018 Copa América Femenina and in both legs of the subsequent CONCACAF–CONMEBOL play-off win over Panama.{{cite news |last1=Zandrino |first1=Diego |title=From twins to a trio for Correa |url=https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/from-twins-to-a-trio-for-correa |access-date=16 June 2019 |publisher=FIFA |date=9 June 2019}}

At the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup Correa won acclaim for her performance in Argentina's 1–0 defeat by England in Le Havre. She made six saves including a penalty kick from Nikita Parris. English coach Phil Neville was effusive in his praise: "Their goalkeeper was incredible. I saw her before the game and she was unbelievable, even in the warm-up. What you've seen tonight is an unbelievable goalkeeping performance." The BBC Sport report described Correa's display as "a form of redemption", after her unhappy experiences at the 2003 and 2007 editions of the tournament.{{cite news |title=Women's World Cup: Vanina Correa impresses in Argentina defeat by England |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48642844 |access-date=16 June 2019 |publisher=BBC Sport |date=14 June 2019}}
