This Thursday, Santos officially announced the contract renewal of right-back Evellyn Marques for another season. Now, the player’s contract with the Sereias da Vila is valid until December 31, 2026, reinforcing the club’s commitment to the athlete who earned her place and finished the year as an important part of the squad.

The 28-year-old from Rio de Janeiro experienced a season of affirmation. Signed at the beginning of 2025, Evellyn quickly adapted to the Santos environment and ended the year as the undisputed starter on the right flank. Throughout the campaign, she participated in 24 of the 31 matches played by the team, numbers that highlight her consistency and the confidence she inspired in the coaching staff.

The right-back was part of the squad that won the Série A2 of the Brazilian Women’s Championship, a title that brought Santos back to the top tier of the sport in 2026. Her presence was considered fundamental in providing defensive balance and offensive depth to the team, especially in the final stretch of the competition.

Commenting on the renewal, Evellyn highlighted the emotional significance of wearing the Santos jersey and looked ahead to the next season with enthusiasm.

“I feel very happy and fulfilled to be part of this huge club. One day I dreamed of wearing this jersey and today I am living that dream. I hope the new season is full of challenges, hard work, and a lot of dedication,” said the right-back.
