The risk of anterior cross ligament injury is multifactorial and numerous tests have been used to locate possible factors that increase the risk of injury. The objective of the present study was to describe the functional and mechanical deficits of injury risk for the anterior cross ligament (ACL) in semi-professional soccer players, as well as to correlate the risk of injury of women players through a functional test and another of ability. In this case study, 17 women's football players from the First Autonomous and Preferential Autonomous Women of the F.C. Cartagena SAD Females with age range from 14 to 23 years (mean age 17.05 ± 3.24 years) participated. A normal training day was used to perform the following tests: Over Head Squat and Tuck Jump. The outstanding results were that most players showed average risk of functional test injury, on the other hand, no significant associations were shown between Overhead Squat test (OHS) and Tuck Jump tests. Therefore, it is recommended to continue with this line of research in order to detect a possible system of optimal tests to identify the risk of injury of the ACL individually in soccer players. And so, offer coaches the possibility to prescribe individualized work to keep each player away from the LCA injury.
