Did You Know?
Vivian grew up in Osasco, SĂŁo Paulo, and first learned the game playing alongside boys in a local football school when she was nine years old.
Her first professional opportunity came with SĂŁo Bernardo because the club partnered with the university she was attending at the time.
Vivian spent four seasons at Juventus-SP while completing her university studies before moving to Rio de Janeiro.
She helped Botafogo win the 2020 Campeonato Carioca and scored one of the goals in the title-winning campaign.
She represented Real BrasĂlia in the Brazilian Championship, Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Candango.
Football has always been part of her family life because her father ran an amateur football team, where she spent much of her childhood watching matches and playing with her brother and the boys.
In 2025 she joined Red Bull Bragantino on loan to gain regular playing time before later moving to Santos.
