She reached the milestone of 50 matches for Fluminense during the 2026 season, becoming one of the most experienced players in the squad.

In 2026, Keké was the victim of racist and homophobic abuse during a Brasileirão Feminino match, prompting Fluminense to publicly stand with her and reaffirm its commitment to fighting discrimination in football.

Her full name is Kathleen Luane da Silva, but she is known throughout her career simply as “Keké.”

Fluminense supporters regularly refer to Keké as “Diferenciada” (“different class”) in social-media comments because of her attacking performances for the club.

Keké returned to the pitch after recovering from a ligament injury and marked her comeback by scoring shortly after being cleared through all medical protocols.
