Left-back Ana Guimarães joins to strengthen the women's team

Palmeiras finalized, this Saturday (3), the signing of left-back Ana Guimarães for the women’s team. After three seasons at Botafogo, the 21-year-old player joins Verdão to strengthen the Palestrinas for the 2026 season.

“I am very happy to play for Palmeiras, fulfilling a dream of playing for such a great club, and I am looking forward to the start of the season. I want to give my best to help the team maintain this good streak from recent years. The fans can expect the most from me; I am coming to give my all for this shirt and for us to be happy winning titles,” said the athlete.

Guima, as she is known, began her career at Vasco in 2019, at the age of 15. With the Rio de Janeiro team, the left-back won the state championship with the Under-18 team. In 2021, the player joined Grêmio, where she stayed for two seasons, won the Campeonato Gaúcho in 2022, and received her first call-ups to the Brazil Under-20 National Team.

Ana signed her first professional contract in 2023, with Botafogo, and participated in the victorious campaigns of the Under-20 Campeonato Carioca (2023), the Under-19 Development League (2023), and the Copa Rio (2024). Also during this period, in 2024, she was part of the group that won the South American Under-20 Women’s Championship with the Brazil National Team in Ecuador and competed in the Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland.

The offensively-minded left-back is the second reinforcement announced by Alviverde for the season. The signing is part of the Women’s Football Department’s plan to further strengthen the squad and maintain the team’s competitiveness in the 2026 competitions.
