Club career
editAfter starting her career in the Campeonato Nacional Feminino with G.D. Estoril Praia, Pereira returned to her home city of Lisbon with Sporting CP where she signed in the summer of 2016.[1]
At the end of each of her first two seasons at the club, Sporting were crowned champions and Pereira became a regular in the first team with the team winning 36 of her 40 starts during her five seasons at the club.[2] When the team failed to secure Champions League football at the end of the 2020–21 season, Pereira chose to sign for Swiss champions Servette where she instantly became the number one goalkeeper and kept back-to-back clean sheets in the club's first two qualification fixtures of the Champions League campaign.[3]
On 19 July 2024, it was announced that Pereira had joined Everton, being sent immediately out on loan to Deportivo de La Coruña.[4]
International career
editPereira has been capped for the Portugal national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.[5] Pereira also started and kept a clean sheet for Portugal in the decisive qualification game for UEFA Women's Euro 2022; however, her team were eliminated 1–0 on aggregate and initially failed to qualify for the tournament before eventually taking the place from Russia who were removed and banned from FIFA and UEFA International matches after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[6]
On 30 May 2023, she was included in the 23-player squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.[7]
