Club career

After playing futsal for three years at school, 16-year-old Gislaine attended a trial with São José Esporte Clube. Signed as a promising forward, she later developed into a defender.[2] After 13 years at São José, in which she won three Copa Libertadores Femenina titles and the 2014 International Women's Club Championship, Gislaine transferred to Corinthians in January 2018.[3] One year later she joined Santos.[4] In January 2020 she agreed a one-year contract with São Paulo FC.[5]

International career

Gislaine was part of the Brazil under-20 selection at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[6]

In December 2012, she was named in the senior Brazil women's national football team for the 2012 International Women's Football Tournament of City of São Paulo. But a broken hand meant that she had to withdraw from selection, to be replaced by Andréia Rosa.[7] She won a first cap for Brazil in September 2013, in a 1–0 win over New Zealand at the 2013 Valais Women's Cup.[8] She was called up to a national team training camp in January 2017.[9]
