She participated at the 2015 and 2019 editions of the FIFA Women's World Cup, as well as at the 2016 Olympic Games.

Club career

In 2008, Tamires made 10 appearances in the American W-League for Charlotte Lady Eagles, where she was nicknamed "Tam-tam".[4] She joined Centro Olímpico in 2013, after playing for other Brazilian teams including Santos.[5] In summer 2015 she agreed a move to Danish Elitedivisionen club Fortuna Hjørring.[6]

In June 2019, she agreed a one-year contract with Corinthians, who gave her the number 37 shirt.[7]

International career

Tamires at the 2016 Olympics

Tamires played for the São Paulo select team, which represented Brazil at the 2006 Peace Queen Cup.[8] She made her senior debut in September 2013, against New Zealand at the 2013 Valais Women's Cup. In Brazil's next match, she scored her first national team goal in a 4–0 win over Mexico.[9]

At the 2014 Copa América Femenina, Tamires scored the fifth goal in Brazil's 6–0 rout of Argentina. In February 2015, she was included in an 18-month residency programme intended to prepare the national team for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada and the 2016 Rio Olympics.[10] At the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Brazil lost 1–0 in the second round to Australia. Tamires remained in Canada as part of the victorious Brazilian selection at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto.

In July 2015, Tamires was the victim of a robbery while leaving her mother's house in Santo André, and her Pan American Games gold medal was stolen. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) presented her with a replica.[11]
