Catarina Ferreira da Silva Cruz de Lima

A childhood feature highlighted that she was already playing primarily with boys at the age of nine and finished as the top scorer of a major youth tournament in Brasília with 14 goals.

Catarina is deeply family-oriented; in a 2019 post, she wrote an emotional message to her newborn niece Heloísa, calling her “my princess, my baby, my life.”

Catarina’s favorite Red Bull flavor is red fruits.

She has a custom upper-arm tattoo inspired by her zodiac sign, designed around meaningful details from her life.

One of Catarina’s early international football experiences came in Mexico, where she won silver with UNIP São Paulo at the 2022 FISU America Games.
