On Monday, Santos announced the signing of defender Isa Cardoso as a reinforcement for the Sereias da Vila for the season. At 28 years old, she joins the club after a stint with Nacional of Uruguay, where she played in the most recent edition of the Copa Libertadores. Her contract with Peixe is valid until December 31, 2026.

“Joining Santos means a lot to me. It’s a huge club with a beautiful history in women’s football, so wearing this shirt is a source of pride and also responsibility. This first week has been very positive and my expectations for the season couldn’t be higher. Now it’s time to work, grow together, and enjoy every day wearing this shirt,” said Isa.

Her professional career is brief, with only 15 appearances. Of these, twelve were for Athletico-PR and three in Uruguayan football last season, before joining the Santos squad.

International Career

The defender began her football journey at eight years old and at 18 moved to play college soccer in the United States, where she studied Business Management and played for FNU Conquistadors and Northern Michigan University.

Upon returning to Brazil, she wore the Athletico-PR shirt for two seasons before joining Nacional of Uruguay in 2025, the team with which she helped win the Uruguayan Championship.
