Letícia Santos de Oliveira (born 2 December 1994),[2][3] commonly known as Letícia Santos,[note 1] is a Brazilian football defender who plays for FFC Frankfurt of Germany's Frauen-Bundesliga and the Brazil women's national football team.
Club career
In January 2015 Letícia transferred from São José to Avaldsnes IL of the Norwegian Toppserien.[4] After two seasons in Norway she signed for the German club SC Sand. She extended her contract a year later, after her performances impressed the team's coach.[5] In June 2019, Letícia was transferred from SC Sand to 1. FFC Frankfurt.[6]
International career
With the Brazil women's national under-20 football team, she attended the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in 2014.[7]
She was selected by the senior Brazil women's national football team for the first time in March 2017, for a friendly against Bolivia in Manaus.[8] She started the match and assisted Marta for Brazil's third goal in their 6–0 win.[9] In October 2017, Letícia was recalled to the senior national team for the 2017 Yongchuan International Tournament as a replacement for regular right-back Fabiana who withdrew with a knee sprain.[10]
