Club career edit

São José edit

After playing futsal for three years at school, 16-year-old Gislaine attended a trial with São José Esporte Clube. Signed as a promising forward, she later developed into a defender.[2]

Corinthians edit

After 13 years at São José, in which she won three Copa Libertadores Femenina titles and the 2014 International Women's Club Championship, Gislaine transferred to Corinthians in January 2018.[3] She made her league debut against São Francisco BA on 25 April 2018.[4]

Santos edit

One year later she joined Santos.[5] Gislaine made her league debut against Foz Cataratas on 17 March 2019.[6] She scored her first league goal against Avaí on 12 April 2019, scoring in the 77th minute.[7]

In January 2020 she agreed a one-year contract with São Paulo FC.[8] Gislaine made her league debut against Cruzeiro on 10 February 2020.[9] She scored her first league goal against AS Minas ICESP on 30 August 2020, scoring in the 59th minute.[10]

International career edit

Gislaine was part of the Brazil under-20 selection at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[11]

In December 2012, she was named in the senior Brazil women's national football team for the 2012 International Women's Football Tournament of City of São Paulo. But a broken hand meant that she had to withdraw from selection, to be replaced by Andréia Rosa.[12] She won a first cap for Brazil in September 2013, in a 1–0 win over New Zealand at the 2013 Valais Women's Cup.[13] She was called up to a national team training camp in January 2017.[14]
