A career marked by smiles, tears of joy, titles, dedication, commitment, hard work, and unconditional love for Flamengo on the field has come to an end. Six-time Rio de Janeiro champion, two-time Taça Guanabara champion, and Brazilian champion with the club, Kaká is leaving for international football after nearly eight seasons. 

Identified as "Most Beloved," the goalkeeper officially said goodbye during training at CEFAN and received a personalized Sacred Mantle from Antonio Bezerra, who is currently a supervisor but was a goalkeeping coach for a long time. On the back, the number 122: the number of times she defended the goal with all her effort.

In addition to receiving the jersey, Kaká received a lot of affection from her teammates and the coaching staff. The moment was emotional and included spectacular speeches from fitness coach Saulo de Almeida and Celso Silva, now the U-20 coach. The goalkeeper cried a lot during the tributes and reminisced about the good times she had. As she finished her speech, she saw a line form. All the players made a point of giving her a final hug, complete with some memorable remarks. 

With exemplary conduct, the athlete made history and built a special relationship with the nation. Captain and leader on several occasions, she was voted the "Crack of the Crowd" of the 2020 Brazilian Championship by popular vote and amassed a string of achievements. Her departure, by mutual consent, confirms the mutual respect and demonstrates Renata Maria Sant'anna's impact on women's soccer. It was an unforgettable time for both parties, and without a shadow of a doubt, Kaká will be immortalized in history.

Clube de Regatas do Flamengo thanks everyone for everything and wishes the Menina da Gávea all the luck and much success in the new challenge of her career. 

Check out the message on the number 22 shirt for the Biggest Fans in the World:

"The time has come to leave. Every beginning has an end. I had some great times at the club and now I'll support it from afar. I'm leaving a bit of my story here, but I carry Flamengo in my heart. I thank everyone who was part of my journey, from the athletes to the entire staff. 

I can't forget to mention the Red-Black Nation, who have always supported this team and will continue to make it even stronger. It's a sad moment to say goodbye, but I feel honored and privileged to have worn the Mantle.

A big hug and red-black greetings"
