Personal life
[edit | edit source]A Quechua descendant,[9] Sosa was born in Ibarreta, a settlement in the Formosa Province (North east Argentina), during her first years, she lived in the nearby city of Las Lomitas. At the time her mother was working in a Wichí community in the west of the province (around 300 km from Las Lomitas) and when Sosa was 8 years, she moved to the community with her father and siblings.[10]
Her first sport was football, it was due to her mother influence that she took on volleyball when she was 14 years and started playing at Club Escuela de Comercio de Las Lomitas.[9][10] She moved to Córdoba at the age of 16, after being selected to play football for Belgrano de Córdoba and was also playing volleyball at Club Universitario de Córdoba.[10][11] Only when asked to decide which sport to follow, she chose volleyball.[12] From Universitario de Córdoba she moved to Asociación Deportiva Atenas before starting her professional career at Olímpico de Freyre.[10]
