First International Formiga Signs with FCGP
By: David | February 3rd, 2009FC Gold Pride have signed their first international player to a one-year contract. So now they have a team. Or a player, anyway.
The team just announced that they have signed Brazilian soccer star Miraildes Maciel Mota (aka Formiga) to a one-year contract. The team selected Formiga as the first overall draft pick at the WPS International Draft in 2008, and fans have been waiting eagerly for news of her signing.
“With Formiga, we have signed the best midfielder in the world,” said FC Gold Pride Head Coach Albertin Montoya. ” She holds teams together. I spoke to several coaches from around the world before selecting her in the WPS international draft. She is consistently regarded around the world as the engine of her team. She embodies the heart and soul of the Brazilian National team and we are looking forward to having her bring her talent and passion to FC Gold Pride.”
Thirty-year-old Formiga has appeared for the Brazilian National Team for four World Cups dating back to 1995, and in the four Olympic tournaments during that time span as well.
And, she already looks great in yellow!
Training Camp opens March 1, and Formiga is expected to join her other teammates. Now, if only they would sign contracts, too ….
