Club career
Between the ages of nine and 14, Gabi played alongside her mother Nailza in a women's football team which competed at regional level.[4] Between 2004 and 2006 she played for Kindermann, based in Santa Catarina.[5] Gabi then played college soccer in the United States while attending Franklin Pierce University. She spent the 2010 season playing in the North American W-League for Hudson Valley Quickstrike Lady Blues.[6]
In 2011 Gabi played for Santos, but in early 2012 Santos' board of directors scrapped the club women's section, to save money after handing their male player Neymar a gigantic new contract. Gabi accompanied Maurine, Érika and several other displaced Santos players in transferring to Centro Olímpico.[7]
International career
In July 2013 Gabi represented Brazil at the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia.[8] She had already debuted for the senior national team, as a substitute in a 5–2 win over Mexico at the 2009 Torneio Internacional Cidade de São Paulo de Futebol Feminino.[9]
She was named as an alternate for the Brazil squad at the 2012 London Olympics.[10] In early 2015 Gabi was included in an 18-month residency programme intended to prepare Brazil's national team for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada and the 2016 Rio Olympics.[11] At the World Cup, Gabi appeared in just one of Brazil's four matches, as part of a much-changed team in the 1–0 final group game win over Costa Rica.
After Brazil's 1–0 second round defeat by Australia, Gabi remained in Canada as part of the gold medal-winning Brazilian selection at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto.
