International career
Drika was called up to train with the senior Brazil women's national football team in 2000 and 2009.[3]
Controversy
From 2008 to 2016, Drika made appearances for Equatorial Guinea despite having no connection with the African nation. She was a member of the squads that won two Africa Women Cup of Nations editions (2008 and 2012).[3][4] On 5 October 2017, she and other nine Brazilian footballers were declared by FIFA as ineligible to play for Equatorial Guinea.[5]
