Eltham Redbacks are delighted to welcome Claudia Dimasi to our VPL Women’s squad for the 2026 season.
An attacking midfielder with an eye for goal, Dimasi joins us fresh from winning promotion to NPLW with Keilor Park last season.
Claudia has also been selected to represent Victoria at this year’s National Futsal Championships on the Gold Coast.
“The main thing for me is culture. The girls have been so welcoming,” says Dimasi.
“It feels like I’ve been here for a lifetime.”
Dimasi also reunites with her former mentor as a junior, head coach Jonathan Barrientos.
“I’ve been very close with JB in my younger years.
“I love the way he coaches, and he’s really taught me a lot as a player.
“So I thought we would reunite and come back together, and I’m very excited to be a part of his team in 2026.”
