One of the biggest names on the Brazilian national team today, Duda is Flamengo's newest signing. The midfielder, who played in the Tokyo Olympics with the "Amarelinha" (São Paulo), was previously at São Paulo, where she shone in the last two seasons with goals and assists. She will wear the number 10 jersey for the "Mais Querido" (Best Loved).

A native of Pernambuco, Duda is a star player, possesses refined technique, and is highly decisive. Having played for Vitória de Santo Antão in Pernambuco, Centro Olímpico in São Paulo, 3B da Amazônia, and Avaldsnes in Norway, the athlete has been a key player in the development of women's soccer in Brazil. Her arrival at Rubro-Negro confirms the club's shift, which is increasing investment and strengthening its roster. Aware of the responsibility, the "Girl from Gávea" is focused solely on enjoying the good times with the Sacred Mantle.

"Nação Rubro-Negra, it's a pleasure to know that we'll be together soon. I'm happy and very excited. I hope to have an excellent season and I want to bring a lot of joy to all of you," she said, in a message addressed to the Biggest Fan Base in the World.

"Duda arrives to demonstrate the club's changing position. She's a young player with great physical and technical potential and a strong personality... In short, she's the kind of player Flamengo fans love. She's a role model in the club's renewal and joins Darlene and the other girls to boost our attacking prowess," said André Rocha, Mengão's women's soccer coordinator.
