Adriana Kristina Leon (born October 2, 1992) is a Canadian professional soccer player for the Boston Breakers in the National Women's Soccer League. She previously played for Chicago Red Stars and Western New York Flash in the NWSL, Swiss club FC Zürich Frauen in the Nationalliga A, and is a member of the Canada women's national soccer team.
Born in Mississauga, Ontario, Leon was raised in Maple and moved with her family at the age of 16 years to King City in 2010. She grew up playing both soccer and hockey.
Leon accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Notre Dame and played for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish women's soccer team in 2010 and 2011. As a freshman in 2010, she came off the bench to score the Irish's lone goal in their 1–0 victory over the Stanford Cardinal in the title game of the NCAA national championship tournament. As a sophomore, she was the second leading scorer for the Irish.
After her sophomore season, Leon transferred to the University of Florida, where she played for coach Becky Burleigh's Florida Gators women's soccer team in 2012. She was the Gators' sixth leading scorer despite missing her first three matches while she was touring Japan with the Canadian national U-20 team. Leon scored four game-winning goals for the Gators and helped lead the team to Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament championships.
