On 19 January 2023, Adriana signed a three-year contract with Orlando Pride of the American National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). [5] In January 2024, she acquired a U.S. green card, meaning she would no longer occupy an international roster spot. [6]

Five days later she scored her first national team goal in a 2–2 draw with hosts China. [7]
Adriana featured at the 2018 Tournament of Nations, but had been left out of the final 22-player roster for the 2018 Copa América Femenina. She was called up again for two friendlies with Canada in September 2018. [8]
Brazil's final 23-player squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup was announced on 16 May 2019. [9] Adriana was included but she had to be replaced by Luana the following day, due to a knee ligament injury. [10]
