Career
An attacking right–back, Rosa joined EC Radar in 1983 after playing for Eldorado in her native Contagem, then Benfica and Cruzeiro. Later that year she had her jaw broken in a notorious grudge match against Bangu.
In the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup Rosa played in all three group games as Brazil were eliminated in the first round. Having moved on to Vasco da Gama, Rosa was one of just two players in the squad who were not contracted to Radar. The 16–year–old Pretinha was the other.
Rosa remained in the national squad for the next campaign at the 1995 South American Women's Football Championship. She was not included in the squad for the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup.
