Flamengo has a new defender joining the women's squad! Ingrid Sorriso, who played for Palmeiras last year, has signed a contract and is the fifth signing for 2024. She reported to Rio de Janeiro, donned the Sacred Mantle, and is now available to coach Maurício Salgado for the start of training.

Sorriso played for Botafogo-PB, Avaí Kindermann, Iranduba and 3B da Amazônia before arriving at Internacional in 2018. There, she spent five seasons, stood out a lot and was even voted best defender in the Brazilian Women's Championship in 2022. Raçuda, the new Menina da Gávea is great in the air, has good recovery and wants to make history at the club.

"My expectations are the best possible. I'm happy and feel privileged to be able to defend this nation and be part of this great club. It's a highly qualified team, and I came to contribute and help in some way, because the focus is to win titles. This relationship with Flamengo is long-standing, but God knows all things and has the right timing for everything, so the time has come to wear the Mantle and represent. It's gratifying to receive such affection and confidence in my work. I will give my best on and off the field," said the number 94.
