Natalia Guitler
Natalia Guitler is a Brazilian athlete and businesswoman known for tennis, footvolley, teqball, football, freestyling and her online influence. Born on June 4, 1987 in Rio de Janeiro, she grew up in a sports-loving family with Argentine roots. She started playing tennis at age four, trained in Argentina, and reached a peak WTA singles ranking of 454 in 2009 before retiring later that year due to financial and logistical pressures.
After tennis, she switched to other sports. In 2018 Ronaldinho introduced her to teqball, and she and Marcos Vieira won the 2019 world championship in Budapest, becoming the first women’s world champions in teqball. In 2021 they topped the teqball mixed doubles rankings. Guitler also built a standout footvolley career, starting in 2010 and turning professional around 2017. She won her first world footvolley title in 2018 with Vanessa Tabarez and has since collected multiple major titles, including several Rainha da Praia crowns and six Brazilian championships, plus two world titles.
In 2022 she opened the Natalia Guitler Training Center in Rio to teach footvolley to kids and aspiring athletes. She has endorsements with Adidas and Mikasa, and a large social media following. She has worked as a SporTV commentator and appeared in podcasts and even a FIFA video game. She represented Brazil in football at the 2017 Maccabiah Games.
Her goals are to keep competing at a high level, expand her training center and Instituto Natalia Guitler, promote women’s sport, and push for Olympic recognition for footvolley and teqball. In 2025, she and Tabarez won their sixth joint world futevôlei championship, giving her seventh overall title.
