Daniela Montoya Quiroz (born August 22, 1990) is a Colombian international footballer who plays as a midfielder for Spanish Primera División club Levante UD and the Colombia national team. She represented her country at the 2011 and 2015 editions of the FIFA Women's World Cup.

International career

At the 2015 World Cup in Canada, Montoya's goal in a 1–1 draw with Mexico was described as one of the best goals of the tournament.[3] She was not included in the selection for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil, after criticizing the Colombian Football Federation for its failure to pay the team's contractual bonuses at the previous year's World Cup.[4]
