Welcome, Tuca!

In preparation for the Women's Super Cup, scheduled for February, Flamengo has signed another signing to bolster its core squad. Tuca, who played for São Bernardo-SP in 2022 and was a standout player for the team in the Campeonato Paulista, underwent tests, signed a contract, and has now joined the squad led by Coach Luis Andrade.

The attacking midfielder took her first steps at a youth academy in Florianópolis and later played for Avaí Kindermann, Napoli-SC, and Marcílio Dias before heading to São Paulo. Ambidextrous, she has excellent vision and is talented. Born into a red-and-black family, the new Menina da Gávea opened her heart upon first meeting the Nation.

"I'm so happy with the deal and very motivated. I'll embrace this opportunity with great dedication because being at Mengão is a childhood dream come true. It's just sinking in now. It's an honor to be part of the club, and I'm ready to help and learn. I want to win many titles with the Manto Sagrado, and I promise to do everything I can to achieve it," she commented, visibly moved.
