Aline Gomes Amaro (born 7 July 2005), known as Aline Gomes or just Aline, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) club North Carolina Courage.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Tabatinga, São Paulo, Aline Gomes joined Ferroviária's youth setup in 2020, aged 15.[3] She made her first team debut on 24 June 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute for Aline Milene in a 2–1 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A1 home win over Flamengo.

Aline Gomes scored her first senior goal on 15 August 2021, netting the winner in a 3–2 home success over Santos; at the age of 16 years, one month and eight days, she became the youngest player to score for AFE in the competition.[4] She subsequently started to feature more regularly in the 2022 season, being named the Breakthrough Player of the year's Brasileirão.[5]

On 30 July 2024, it was announced that Aline Gomes was acquired by the North Carolina Courage, an NWSL team in the United States. She was then signed through the 2026 season,[6] for a rumoured fee of around R$ 1 million.[7] She debuted as an 80th-minute substitute against the Kansas City Current on 1 September.[8] She scored her first NWSL goal to open a 2–1 win over the San Diego Wave on 5 October.[9]

International career

[edit]

After representing Brazil at under-17 and under-20 levels,[10] Aline Gomes received her first call up to the full side by manager Pia Sundhage on 20 March 2023, for the 2023 Women's Finalissima against England.[11]

Aline Gomes was crowned champion of the CONMEBOL Women's Under-19 Evolution League 2023 on Sunday, September 24, by defeating the Paraguayan national team 2-0, and she scored the second goal that sealed the match's result.[12]
