Gio Queiroz officially departed Arsenal Women and signed for Atletico Madrid Women this summer. Gio did not play much for Arsenal and spent time out on loan with Everton and then Madrid CFF. The 21 year old had a fantastic spell at Madrid CFF and became their top goalscorer, with 9 goals during the games she played in the 2023-2024 season of LIGA FEMENINA – this included scoring a hattrick against Villareal!
Well, it would appear that Gio has got off to a flying start with Atletico Madrid, as she scored a hattrick for her new club, in a preseason friendly against Ajax yesterday! See highlights of Gio in action with Atletico Madrid below.
Arsenal will face Rangers on 4th September and Atletico Madrid will face Swedish side Rosenborg on the same date.
Arsenal Women could face Atlético and Gio on Sept 7th, at Meadow Park, if both sides make it through their UWCL first round semi final qualifiers on Sept 4th.
What do you think of what young Gio’s creating at other clubs when, in lots of Gooners eyes, she was not nearly used to her full potential at Arsenal? And, to be honest, didn’t appear to be one of head coach Jonas Eidevall’s favourite players..

Competition up front was quite stiff, with Meade, Blackstenius, Russo and others in the roles where Gio could play. That coupled with not having CL last year, so less games, means that her game time was limited.
Young players need game time to evolve, but when competing for prizes, that time isn’t always available, especially when they don’t hit the ground running like Saka.
Same thing I guess for Nketiah and others…
Two mistakes Eideval made. The Miedema mistake and the Queiroz mistake. Let’s hope there are no more mistakes.
