Gemma Font Oliveras (listenⓘ; born 23 October 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer from Catalonia who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga F club FC Barcelona and the Catalonia women's national football team.

Personal life

Club career

Font started her career in Barcelona's academy in 2013.[3] In June 2020, following the 2019–20 season in which she played 14 games for Barcelona B in the Segunda División, Font renewed her contract with Barcelona until 2022. She had spent the season alternating between training with the first team and starting as goalkeeper for the B team.[4] On 20 January 2021, she made her debut for Barcelona in a Primera División game against Rayo Vallecano. She entered the field as a substitute for Sandra Paños at half-time in a 7–0 victory for Barcelona.[5]

On 6 June 2022, she signed a contract extension with Barcelona until 2024.[6] Having had a larger role in the 2022–23 season, with injuries to other goalkeepers Paños and Cata Coll, Font returned to being third choice in 2023–24. She played two competitive games, keeping a cleansheet in one while conceding four goals in the other, a generally poor team performance.[7]

International career

Font was called up for Spain U–23 in 2021.
