LAUREN LAPOMARDA IS GIALLOBLU

Parma, 18 January 2025 – Lauren Adrienne Lapomarda is Gialloblu.


Born in Texas (USA) on 10 May 2002, defender Lauren joins from Texas University and brings a mix of talent and determination with her to enrich the Gialloblu squad.


Lapomarda is a complete full-back, fast and capable at ready the game. Her strengths include defensive positioning and the ability to support the side in build-up play.


The Italian-American joins Parma after a brilliant start to her career in the US. During her time at Texas University, she became a cornerstone of her side, setting the record for the most appearances made (101) and minutes played (over 8,000). Amongst her many big achievements, her four nominations to the Academic All-Big 12 stand out, as well as her presence in the United Soccer Coaches All-Region Fourth Team and the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week.


Before going to Texas University, she played for the Solar Soccer Club where she won a national league title and many individual awards, such as being included in the Best XI by TopDrawer Soccer and the Top Drawer Soccer IMG Academy 150 rankings, where she placed 13th amongst the best defenders in the nation.

Lapomarda's statement:

'Joining Parma is a dream come true, I am really grateful for this opportunity. The Club has an incredible history and I am excited to be part of such a prestigious squad with players of great talent. I chose Parma because of the Club's ambitious project and the passion you feel amongst the fans. My aim is to contribute to the team's success and become a positive example for everyone, pushing myself to improve every day. I am sure that, training with great professionals, I will be able to grow as both a person and a player!'


A word on her Italian roots: 'My Italian roots define who I am today, they have shaped my values, my way of living and my determination. Growing up immersed in Italian culture taught me the importance of community, resilience and pride, and I am happy to bring these values to Parma'.
