Impressive Numbers

With 55 goals in 83 matches for the club, Bia is the second-highest scorer in the history of the alviverde women's team, only behind Amanda Gutierres, who scored 74 times in 103 games. The Empress was a key player in the championship campaigns of the Copa Libertadores and the Campeonato Paulista in 2022, being the top scorer in both competitions.

I come with high expectations that we will have a great year. We have many competitions, but with the squad we have, we can achieve great things. It's about playing each game, understanding everything we have ahead, always with our feet on the ground, but with all the energy possible to pursue all the titles.
