Club career

Adriana was born in União, Piauí and played for Tiradentes in the State and Brazilian championships. In 2016 she was hired by Rio Preto, as a replacement for Darlene de Souza. [2]

Adriana scored as Corinthians won the 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino, beating her former club Rio Preto 5–0 on aggregate in the final. [3] Her 14 league goals made her the second highest goal scorer and she was named 2018 Prêmio Craque do Brasileirão. [4]

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]

International career

In October 2017, Adriana won her first cap for the senior Brazil women's national football team at the 2017 Yongchuan International Tournament, appearing as a substitute for Gabi Zanotti in a 3–0 win over Mexico. 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]
