From Rio to the World

In 1988, the CBF decided to create its first women’s soccer team to compete in the China Experimental Tournament, a test for holding the World Cup. And she was there: Michael Jackson was called up alongside other great players of the time, starting her international career.

This virtual exhibition, held at Google Arts&Culture, features several photographs from the time to recreate Marileia’s story and show how she became the first Brazilian to work professionally in Europe, becoming a reference in Torino. They also stand out for their participation in the first women’s World Cups and the Olympic Games.
