Goalkeeper Carlinha extends São Paulo contract until end of 2026 | OneFootball

São Paulo has announced the renewal of Carlinha’s contract until the end of 2026. The tricolor goalkeeper was one of the team’s standouts last season, being part of the squad that won the Supercopa this year.

“I’m very happy to sign for another year. I’m sure 2026 will be different. As a child who always dreamed of this, I feel very fulfilled to wear such a prestigious shirt as São Paulo’s,” said Carlinha.

The goalkeeper was fundamental to the women’s Supercopa title, saving three penalties in the final against Corinthians to end the dominance of their archrival in the tournament, who until then had been the only champion.

“The Série A2 title [of the women’s Brazilian championship, in 2019] in my first year and, for sure, the three penalties saved in the semifinal and becoming Supercopa champion [were the most memorable moments wearing the São Paulo shirt,” the goalkeeper continued.

When asked about her greatest inspiration in her career, Carlinha had no doubts, choosing a true legend of world football as her role model.

“Manuel Neuer, because of his playing style. He was the first goalkeeper recommended to me when they told me to play more with my feet and be more active in the game,” she concluded.
