Adriana Leal da Silva (born 17 November 1996), commonly known as Adriana or Maga, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Orlando Pride of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and the Brazil women's national team.

Club career

[edit]

Adriana was born in União, Piauí and played for Tiradentes in the State and Brazilian championships. In 2016 she was hired by Rio Preto, as a replacement for Darlene de Souza.[2]

Adriana scored as Corinthians won the 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino, beating her former club Rio Preto 5–0 on aggregate in the final.[3] Her 14 league goals made her the second highest goal scorer and she was named 2018 Prêmio Craque do Brasileirão.[4]

On 19 January 2023, Adriana signed a three-year contract with Orlando Pride of the American National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).[5] In January 2024, she acquired a U.S. green card, meaning she would no longer occupy an international roster spot.[6]

International career

[edit]

In October 2017, Adriana won her first cap for the senior Brazil women's national football team at the 2017 Yongchuan International Tournament, appearing as a substitute for Gabi Zanotti in a 3–0 win over Mexico. Five days later she scored her first national team goal in a 2–2 draw with hosts China.[7]

Adriana featured at the 2018 Tournament of Nations, but had been left out of the final 22-player roster for the 2018 Copa América Femenina. She was called up again for two friendlies with Canada in September 2018.[8]

Brazil's final 23-player squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup was announced on 16 May 2019.[9] Adriana was included but she had to be replaced by Luana the following day, due to a knee ligament injury.[10]
