Brazilian forward joins Orlando’s growing Brazilian contingent
Orlando Pride have completed the signing of Brazilian forward Gabi Nunes, adding the experienced attacker to their NWSL squad.
The 29-year-old arrives after spending last season with Aston Villa in England and now begins a new chapter in the United States.
An Experienced Career Across Three Countries
Nunes has built an impressive career across Brazil, Spain and England.
Before moving to the NWSL, the forward represented Aston Villa in the Women’s Super League. She also spent time in Spain with Levante and Madrid CFF.
Her most significant spell in Brazil came with Corinthians, where she spent five seasons and established herself as an experienced forward.
That international experience could prove valuable for Orlando Pride as they continue to compete at the highest level of the NWSL.
A Strong Brazilian Presence at Orlando Pride
Nunes will join an impressive group of Brazilian players already at Orlando Pride.
She will share the dressing room with legendary Brazilian forward Marta, as well as Luana, Rafaelle and Angelina.
The arrival of Nunes adds even more Brazilian quality and experience to an already talented squad.

What Gabi Nunes Brings
Nunes brings considerable experience to Orlando, having played in several of the world’s leading women’s football leagues.
Her familiarity with different footballing cultures and styles should help her adapt to the NWSL, while her previous experience in Spain and England gives her an understanding of the demands of playing overseas.
