Mengão's top scorer this season with five goals, Duda was called up by Pia Sundhage to defend the Brazilian National Team in the Copa América, which will take place from July 8 to 30, in Armenia, Bucaramanga and Cali, Colombia. 

The attacking midfielder will be introduced soon, as, before the competition, the team will play two friendlies in Europe, against Denmark, on June 24th, and against Sweden, on the 28th of the same month. 

- I'm very happy with another call-up to represent my country. This is the result of my work here at Flamengo and I hope to take advantage of the opportunity when I present myself there. It's a dream to be able to play in the Copa América and I want to be champion - she said, before training this Tuesday (7).

It's worth remembering that last weekend, Duda was decisive in the Rubro-Negro's 1-0 victory over São José in São Paulo. The athlete converted the penalty awarded to Thaisa in the 44th minute of the second half, helping the team earn three more points in the Brasileirão Feminino.
