Fun Facts about Raissa Soares

Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

Raíssa was born in Jacobina, in the Brazilian state of Bahia, which inspired the nickname “Raíssa Bahia.”

Before entering professional women's football, she spent much of her childhood playing with boys in her hometown.

Wearing the Brazil shirt was a dream she carried for years; old podcast clips resurfaced after her first call-up showing her talking about how much she wanted to represent Brazil one day.

During the Resenha das Gurias podcast, she reflected on whether the younger version of herself would be proud of what she had achieved a few years later, revealing a reflective and self-critical side of her personality.
