Ana Carla de Oliveira Barboza (born 25 June 1994), known as Ana Carla, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Santos FC.
Club career
Born in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Ana Carla played basketball for the most of her youth, joining the team of Osasco/Bradesco in 2011. After nearly becoming a professional at the club, she returned to her native state to pursue a football career, and made her senior debut with local side Castelo in 2013.
In 2015, after spending a period at Boavista (as the club turned down the creation of a women's side due to financial problems) and playing for a local side in Matão, Ana Carla joined Flamengo. During her seven-season spell at the club, she was never a regular starter, and the club announced her departure on 11 January 2022.
On 3 February 2022, Ana Carla was announced at Santos. On 22 November, after being a regular starter, she renewed her contract for a further year.
