Early life

Macario was born in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, to Ana Maria Cantanhede and José Melônio Macário.[2][3] She started playing football at the age of 4,[4] following the footsteps of her older brother, Estevão (known in the U.S. as Steve). She started playing in the academy of Flamengo in São Luís. She remained there for less than 6 months before switching to the Cruzeiro academy. At the age of 7, she moved with the family to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. In Brasilia, Catarina played for the Santos academy, where she remained until she moved to the United States in December 2011. In Brazil, Catarina had always played for men's teams and only started playing for a women's team after arriving in the United States. In 2011, at the age of 12 and without speaking any English, Macario relocated with her father and brother to San Diego, California in order to pursue her dream of playing soccer. Her mother, a doctor, remained in Brazil in order to financially support the family. While playing for the San Diego Surf as a youth player, she broke the all-time goalscoring record in the ECNL with 165 goals.[5][6][7]

In her junior year, Macario was the winner of the Honda Sports Award, given to the nation's top female collegiate soccer player.[15][16] She was also awarded the MAC Hermann Trophy a second time, becoming the sixth woman to repeat as winner since the award was established in 1988.[17][18]
