Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Suzano but raised in Ferraz de Vasconcelos, both in the São Paulo state, Yaya joined Centro Olímpico's youth setup at the age of 13; due to her style of play being similar to Yaya Touré, she earned that nickname. In 2017, she moved to São Paulo, after the club established a partnership with Centro Olímpico.[2][3]

São Paulo

[edit]

Promoted to the first team for the 2019 season,[2] Yaya made her senior debut on 27 March 2019, starting and scoring the winner in a 1–0 Série A2 home success over América Mineiro.[4] She was a regular starter during the club's league campaign, as they achieved promotion to the Série A1 as champions.

Santos

[edit]

On 8 January 2023, Yaya was announced at Santos.[5] Despite being a regular starter, she left on 20 December.[6]

Corinthians

[edit]

On 5 January 2024, it was announced that Yaya signed with Corinthians after her contract ended.[7]

International career

[edit]

Yaya represented Brazil at under-17 level in 2018 South American U-17 Women's Championship and 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. On 20 August 2019, aged 17, she received her first call-up for the full side, for the year's International Women's Football Tournament;[8] she remained an unused substitute in Brazil's two matches in the competition.

After playing for the under-20 team in the 2020 and 2022 editions of the South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship, Yaya made her full international debut on 10 October 2022, replacing Ary Borges late into a 1–0 friendly win over Italy at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa.[9]
