Noémi Paquin

A dynamic attacking midfielder and forward, the 5-foot 2-inch Varennes, Quebec native Noémi Paquin is thrilled to make her homecoming in professional soccer in Quebec. Drawn to the Montréal Roses by its strong sense of community and professionalism, she believes that the energy around this project is inspiring and that starting her professional career at home feels like the perfect fit. 

Noémi’s path to professional soccer is marked by dedication and success. During her collegiate career at Florida International University, she emerged as a standout player, scoring 15 goals and delivering 4 assists in just 20 games. Her exceptional performances earned her a collection of accolades, including C-USA Player of the Year, C-USA Offensive Player of the Year, C-USA First Team All-Conference, and C-USA Tournament Offensive MVP. She was also named C-USA Player of the Week for five consecutive weeks and ranked #39 in TopDrawerSoccer’s Top 100 NCAA Players. She capped off her time at FIU by helping her team secure two championships: the regular season title and the conference tournament championship. 

Noémi’s love for soccer began at the age of four. Growing up, she developed her skills with local clubs, falling more in love with the sport each year. Her time at CEGEP was pivotal, solidifying her decision to pursue soccer at the highest level. Choosing Florida International University allowed her to thrive both on and off the field, shaping her into a well-rounded player and opening doors to a professional career. 

Off the pitch, Noémi is known for her unique pre-match ritual: listening to a playlist of 3-4 songs that set the tone for the season. This routine keeps her focused and ready for competition. Looking ahead, she is determined to build a successful soccer career and play for years in a setting that aligns with her aspirations. 

With her impressive skill set, inspiring journey, and deep connection to her community, Paquin is poised to make a lasting impact both on and off the field.
