The red-and-black women's soccer team has gained another high-profile addition for the rest of the season. Giovanna Crivelari, who previously played for Levante-ESP, has played for the Brazilian national team, and is a highly relevant name on the national stage. She underwent tests, signed a contract, and is now available to Coach Luis Andrade to begin training at CEFAN. 

A native of Londrina, Paraná, Mais Querido's new signing is a two-time Brazilian champion and has already won a Libertadores, becoming one of the competition's standouts. A natural goalscorer, the forward is known for her presence in the box and powerful shot, as well as her skill and ease in playing on the wings.

Crivelari visited Mengão's headquarters, touring all the facilities, and taking photos on the field. The new Menina da Gávea, who chose the number 93 to mark her birth year, expressed great joy at the opportunity to wear the Manto Sagrado and wants to create a winning history for the club.

"I'm very happy to be part of the team and intend to help in any way I can. I can't wait to step onto the field and feel the warmth of the fans up close. I want to be able to celebrate goals and many titles with the Red-Black Nation. My goal is to make my name at the club," he said in an interview with the official website. 

"Crivelari's arrival significantly elevates our team's status, and we're working hard to elevate the club's women's soccer team to the top in Brazil, the Americas, and the world. Our project, which began in 2019, has always been to strive for victories and titles. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our partners, who believe in us and enable us to sign players of this caliber, and our fan club members. We'll return even stronger in the Brazilian Championship, and we have big goals for 2022," concluded Vitor Zanelli, vice president of the sport.
