Paola Andrea Ferrari Yegros (born 16 September 1985) is a Paraguayan basketball player. She currently plays for Stadium Casablanca in Spain's Liga Femenina de Baloncesto as a shooting guard.
Paola Ferrari began playing basketball at age 7 at the club Deportivo Internacional in her native Asunción.
She played her first South American Championship in Peru, in the cadet category, where she stood out as a top scorer of the tournament. She made her debut in the senior league of Paraguay at age 14, where she played for several teams (Deportivo Internacional, Deportivo San Jose, UAA). She had outstanding performances in the South American Championships at all levels, being proclaimed best player, top scorer, and best three-point shooter on several occasions.
After training in the United States in 2003 at Tomahawk High School in Wisconsin, Ferrari played for Union University of Tennessee in 2004. A year later, she played for the University of Quevedo, where the team reached the semifinals. That same season, at age 20, she decided to jump to Spain to play for Alumisan Pio XII of Santiago de Compostela in Liga Femenina 2. After a quick adjustment period, she finished the season as the second highest scorer of the category. The following season she played for Joventut Mariana de Sóller in a bid for promotion, but they could not achieve it.
In 2007 she debuted in the Liga Femenina for Baloncesto Rivas, but a lack of minutes made her change teams in December and finish a great season with Burgos. In 2008, after a season with Estudiantes, Ferrari returned to Sóller, where she achieved great numbers over four seasons.
