Establishing an international following, earning the trust of fans worldwide, inspiring people of every generation, and bringing crowds together as one community—this is the essence of soccer, and this reflects the journey of Duda Pavão.
Bay FC is proud to welcome Duda as the club’s first official in-stadium host for the 2026 NWSL season.
If you were at Oracle Park on August 23, 2025, you already felt what she brings. When Bay FC shattered the NWSL attendance record in front of 40,091 fans, Duda was on that stage — bringing the energy and making the historic day feel exactly how it should.
That’s what she does. And she has done it on soccer’s biggest stages.
Originally from Brazil, Duda is an experienced host and a trusted voice in women’s football. She has covered some of the world’s top football tournaments, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, the FIFA Men’s World Cup in Qatar, and the FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco. She has appeared before global audiences and delivered engaging broadcasts.
Now, she brings that expertise to PayPal Park.
“Bay FC fans are some of the most passionate and dedicated in the world, and I look forward to elevating their experience and creating memorable moments for everyone. It’s a true honor to be part of an innovative club that is trying to change the match day experience with such incredible supporters. I can’t wait to get started.”
PayPal Park already has the best home field advantage in the NWSL. The fans show up, believe in the club, and bring the noise and passion beyond the final whistle.
Duda will not just recognize this spirit—she will elevate it.
Duda will amplify the matchday experience and help weave Bay FC’s culture into every moment. Beyond match days, Duda will be a driving force at club events, activations, and celebrations throughout the Bay Area, further connecting Bay FC with the nine counties the club represents.
As poppies begin to bloom and fans grab their drums, come join Duda as she makes her debut this Saturday, March 14, at Bay FC’s Home Opener, presented by Sutter Health, when the club faces expansion team Denver Summit FC.
