Raiani began her football journey in futsal, playing for Ipiranga and later Tiger between 2016 and 2019 before switching to the 11-a-side game.

Botafogo rewarded her progress by offering her first professional contract after two years in the club's academy, describing it as recognition for the work she had put in since arriving in 2022.

After signing professionally, Raiani said her goal was to repay Botafogo's trust with hard work and dedication, calling the contract a dream come true after years in the youth ranks.

Raiani featured in the launch campaign for Botafogo's new streetwear brand, FireStar, modelling the club's oversized "Fire Dog" collection for the official Botafogo Store.
