Cindy Nahuelcoy

Cindy Nahuelcoy is a former Chilean assistant referee and digital creator who began her public activity around 2013, the year she entered FIFA’s international list as an assistant referee. Her profile became more visible in men’s professional football from 2019, when she debuted in Chile’s Primera División and started receiving high-profile assignments. She became known for breaking barriers on historic pitches and later brought her voice and expertise online through “El VAR de Nahuelcoy,” while staying active on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Telegram.

Between 2021 and 2022 she reached verifiable milestones: she was part of the first all-female refereeing crew appointed to a men’s Copa Libertadores match and later joined officiating teams in the Copa Sudamericana. During that period she also became the first assistant referee in the Colo Colo vs. Universidad de Chile Superclásico. After internal sanctions and controversy in 2023, she closed her refereeing chapter to focus on content, entrepreneurship (including her bottle shop) and TV appearances. Her trajectory is publicly linked to María Belén Carvajal and Neuza Back through shared CONMEBOL assignments; she was also connected to referee Piero Maza via her Copa Sudamericana appointment. Active on social platforms in 2025, she engages her audience without emphasizing follower counts.
