Our second official signing for CD Tacon / Real Madrid is none other than 30-year old Brazilian midfielder Thaisa! She scored her first World Cup goal in France, bagging the equalizer for Brazil v France during the Round of 16.
Thaisa seems to like new teams at big clubs, having played for AC Milan last year in their inaugural Serie A season. Prior to this, she played a season for Sky Blue FC in the NWSL, GrindavĂk in Iceland, and multiple Brazil-based clubs. Looking forward to seeing her on the pitch when the season kicks off in August!

Midfielder Thaisa has been representing Brazil at the senior level since 2013. She currently play for AC Milan’s women’s side.
I stumbled across the story of Anne O’Brien awhile ago and, when doing more research, was saddened to hear of her passing this past August. When people talk of pioneers in women’s football, here’s one almost lost to the wind.
