Did You Know?
At Ferroviária, she was known as the team’s “dona da bola parada” — the set-piece specialist.
Rafa Mineira made her professional debut at just 15 years old — and is still remembered as one of Ferroviária’s biggest homegrown talents.
Before leaving Ferroviária, she had already passed 100 appearances for the club — and was honoured with a special “100 games” shirt.
Rafa’s nickname “Mineira” comes from her roots in Minas Gerais — she was born in Alpinópolis, MG, before building most of her football identity in Araraquara.
In 2026, after scoring for Red Bull Bragantino, she dedicated the moment to God, her family and her boyfriend — showing how much her support system matters to her.
