Club career

Between 2007 and 2012, Mônica played club football in Austria for SV Neulengbach, the dominant team in the ÖFB-Frauenliga. Upon returning to Brazil, she had a short spell with Botucatu Futebol Clube, then joined Ferroviária[5] ahead of the 2013 season.[4]

She then joined the new expansion side, the Orlando Pride of the National Women's Soccer League for the 2016 season,[6] complemented by loan spells with Adelaide United and Atlético Madrid in the 2016 and 2017 offseasons respectively.[7] On February 18, 2019, after three seasons with Orlando she announced she was leaving the club.

In April 2019, Mônica signed for reigning Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino champions Corinthians.[8]

In August 2019, Mônica signed for Spanish Primera División club Madrid CFF.[9]

International career

At the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship, Mônica was part of the Brazilian team which finished third.[10] She made her senior Brazil women's national football team debut on 11 June 2014, a 0–0 friendly draw with France staged in Guyana.[11] She scored her first national team goal in Brazil's 7–1 win over Ecuador at the 2015 Pan American Games. A controversial own goal by Mônica against Australia at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup saw Brazil lose its first group stage match in 24 years.[12]
