Raised in Bucaramanga, López began playing football competitively when she was ten.[1] At age 17, on 8 June 2024, she made her first professional appearance for Real Santander, scoring a goal in her debut against Deportivo Pereira.[2]

On 21 February 2025, the NWSL's Angel City FC announced they had acquired López from Real Santander for an undisclosed fee, signing her to a four-year contract, and would loan her to USL Super League club Lexington SC.[2] Her first goal for Lexington came on 19 April, with López heading in the opener in a 1–1 draw with Brooklyn FC.[3] On 10 October, she was recalled to Angel City, having made 7 appearances and scored 1 goal on loan.[4]

International career

López scored two goals in six games as she led Colombia to finish runners-up at the 2024 South American U-17 Women's Championship. She was also included in the roster for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup on home soil, despite being three younger than most players, and the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[1][5] López was called up as a training player with Colombia's senior team for the 2025 SheBelieves Cup.[2]
