Club career

[edit]

Born in Catanduva, São Paulo, Giovana started her career with hometown club Catanduva FC, spending two years before moving to São José do Rio Preto. She represented América-SP and Rio Preto in the city, aside from a period at Francana, before moving to Austria in 2011, with SV Neulengbach.[3]

Giovana left the Austrian side in May 2013,[4] and returned to Rio Preto in her home country. In 2015, after a very short period at São Paulo,[5] she joined Santos.[3]

Ahead of the 2019 season, Giovana returned to São Paulo. She renewed her contract with the club for a further year on 29 December 2019,[6] and signed a new two-year deal in January 2021.[7]

On 14 March 2022, Giovana played her 100th match for Tricolor, a 3–1 win over Real Brasília.[8] On 10 January of the following year, she was announced back at Santos.[9]
