Club career

Thaisinha with Santos in 2022

Born in São Paulo, Thaisinha joined the youth sides of Juventus-SP in 2005, aged 12. In late 2008, she was invited by Kleiton Lima to join Santos, where she won two Copa Libertadores Femenina titles in a row.

In 2011, Thaisinha signed for Bangu. She later moved to Vitória das Tabocas in that year, and was a regular starter for the club.

In February 2013, Thaisinha and her teammate Bia Zaneratto were transferred to South Korean club Incheon Hyundai Steel Red Angels.[4] There, she won six WK League titles, five of them in a row, aside from having a short spell back at Vitória on loan in 2014.

On 21 January 2020, Thaisinha returned to the Sereias da Vila.[5] In the following seasons, she was a regular starter and renewed her contract on multiple occasions.[6][7][8]

International career

Thaisinha received her first call-up to the Brazil national under-17 team at the age of 13. She was also in the squad of the 2008[9] and 2010 editions of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, and featured with under-20s in the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.

She made her debut for the senior national team in December 2010, a 3–0 2010 Torneio Internacional Cidade de São Paulo win over Mexico at Pacaembu Stadium.[10] Thaisinha was named in Brazil's squad for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany and participated in the 3–0 group stage win over Equatorial Guinea.

Thaisinha also helped Brazil to win the silver medal in the 2011 Pan American Games, after being a spotlight in the 2011 Summer Universiade.[11] She scored her first international goal on 18 October 2011, netting Brazil's opener in a 2–0 win over Argentina for the former tournament.[12]

Thaisinha was recalled to the national team after a 23-month absence in November 2015. She had returned to form with her Korean club after initially struggling to adapt and suffering several injuries.[13]

Style of play

A skillful forward or an attacking midfielder, Thaisinha's playing style has been compared to that of Neymar.[14] She was also often named as the successor of Marta during her early career.[15][16]
