Havana Solaun (born February 23, 1993) is an American soccer midfielder who currently plays for Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League. She has represented the United States on the U-17, U-20, and U-23 national teams.
Born and raised in Gainesville, Florida, the largest city in the North Florida area, Solaun attended Buchholz High School. From 2008 to 2010, she was named by the Gainesville Sun to the All-Area Girls Soccer first-team.
Solaun attended the University of Florida from 2011 to 2014 where she played soccer for the Florida Gators and was a four-year starting midfielder. Solaun earned All-Southeastern Conference first team honors in 2014 and 2013 and also appeared on the NSCAA All-South Region teams those same seasons. As a senior in 2014, Solaun registered collegiate best totals for goals(9), assists (9) and points (27) to finish second among the Gators in each category.
Solaun was selected 15th overall by Seattle Reign FC during the 2015 NWSL College Draft. After signing with the team a few months later, Seattle Reign FC head coach Laura Harvey said, "Havana is a young, talented player who is very good on the ball. The most important thing for us is she is also very comfortable in possession, whether under pressure or not, she can keep control of the ball and move it in the way that we want her to." Solaun made her debut for the Reign during 2–0 win over the University of Washington during preseason play but sat out the season after suffering an injury. During the team's first 2016 pre-season match against the Portland Thorns, Solaun scored the game-winning goal in the 75th minute helping the Reign win 2–0. She made her debut for the club during its season opener against Sky Blue FC on April 17. She scored her first goal during a match against the Houston Dash leading the Reign to a 1–0 win.
