Editing Karla Andrade

'''Karla Andrade''' is a Mexican competitive [[paintball]] player who has represented [[Femmes Fatale]] in the [[WNXL|Women's National Xball League]]. Tournament records also list her as '''Karla Andrade Alvarez''', wearing number 69. Her involvement in the sport includes international competition, tournament organisation and support for other women entering competitive paintball.[1][2][3]

== Paintball career ==

=== Tournament organisation ===
In January 2015, Andrade was named as a member of the organising committee for an international [[Almost Famous Paintball League]] tournament in Cancún, Mexico. The competition was announced for 28 February and 1 March at the Centro Deportivo de Alto Rendimiento, with teams expected from Mexico, the United States and elsewhere in Latin America.[3]

=== WNXL and Femmes Fatale ===
Andrade participated in the women's exhibition match held at the [[NXL World Cup]] on 13 November 2021, ahead of the WNXL's first full season in 2022. The exhibition brought together players associated with the league's planned franchises on two teams, Fire and Ice.[1]

In his report on the match, published by the [[National Xball League]], Quinn Nadu identified Andrade as a player to watch for the forthcoming season, highlighting her speed and attacking play for Femmes Fatale.[1]

[[Daniela Rojas]] subsequently described playing alongside Andrade at Femmes Fatale during her first two WNXL seasons. PBLeagues match records also document Andrade competing for the team in the women's WNXL X-Ball division.[2][4]

== Support for other players ==
In her autobiographical account, Rojas credits Andrade with helping introduce her to [[Destiny]] in 2020 after noticing her performances with the Colombian team Medusas. The introduction led to a tryout with Destiny in Florida.[4]

Rojas also recounts that, following her victory at the 2020 World Cup, Andrade gave her a paintball marker and encouraged her to continue training and learn English before the following year's tournament.[4]
