Club career
Born in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Ana Carla played basketball for the most of her youth, joining the team of Osasco/Bradesco in 2011. After nearly becoming a professional at the club, she returned to her native state to pursue a football career, and made her senior debut with local side Castelo in 2013.[3]
In 2015, after spending a period at Boavista (as the club turned down the creation of a women's side due to financial problems) and playing for a local side in Matão, Ana Carla joined Flamengo.[3] During her seven-season spell at the club, she was never a regular starter, and the club announced her departure on 11 January 2022.[4]
On 3 February 2022, Ana Carla was announced at Santos.[5] On 22 November, after being a regular starter, she renewed her contract for a further year.[6]
