Club career
Adriana was born in União, Piauí and played for Tiradentes in the State and Brazilian championships. In 2016 she was hired by Rio Preto, as a replacement for Darlene de Souza.[2]
Adriana scored as Corinthians won the 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino, beating her former club Rio Preto 5–0 on aggregate in the final.[3] Her 14 league goals made her the second highest goal scorer and she was named 2018 Prêmio Craque do Brasileirão.[4]
On 19 January 2023, Adriana signed a three-year contract with Orlando Pride of the American National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).[5] In January 2024, she acquired a U.S. green card, meaning she would no longer occupy an international roster spot.[6]
The Pride transferred Adriana to Saudi Women's Premier League club Al Qadsiah FC on 30 January 2025. The transfer fee that Orlando received was the highest in club history and one of the top three highest in NWSL history.[7]
