She began playing organised football at age 16. (F4L YouTube channel, 01 Aug 2017)

"I enjoyed playing football since childhood. I started on the street, kicking the ball with the boys. I kicked anything I saw on the floor. When my sister and I began getting dolls, I took their heads off and kicked them all around the house. Everybody realised that what I wanted more was a football." She played futsal at school, but at age 16 her father arranged a trial at Juventus in Sao Paulo, Brazil. "He [her father] always motivated me. He took me there and once I passed the tryout, he took one week off his job to show me the way to go to training."
