Maurine Dorneles Gonçalves (born 14 January 1986), commonly known as Maurine, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a defender or midfielder for Ferroviária and the Brazilian women's national team. Due to her versatility, she has operated in a number of different positions throughout her career, but is most often used as a full-back or defensive midfielder. She was part of Brazil's silver medal-winning squad at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and also played at the 2011 and 2015 editions of the FIFA Women's World Cup, as well as the 2012 London Olympics. At club level Maurine enjoyed two successful spells with Santos and was hurt when the male parent club disbanded the female section in 2012. She also spent part of the 2011 season with American Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) franchise Western New York Flash. After the demise of Santos, Maurine and nine other former Santos players agreed to join Centro Olímpico. ==Club career== By the age of 15 Maurine was playing for her local club Grêmio. In 2006 and 2007 she played for CEPE-Caxias of Rio de Janeiro, then joined Santos for the 2008 season. On 22 September 2009, the Atlanta Beat, an expansion team of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS), selected Maurine in the 2009 WPS International Draft, acquiring exclusive rights (within WPS) to negotiate with her. Maurine did not join the American team, instead finding success in the Copa Libertadores Femenina with Santos in 2009 and 2010. Maurine eventually joined a WPS team in 2011, accompanying Marta to the Western New York Flash. After making a single WPS appearance for the club she returned to Santos. In early 2012 Santos' board of directors scrapped the women's section, to save money after handing their male player Neymar a gigantic new contract. Maurine and the other players were surprised and hurt by the development. With Neymar's assistance, Maurine and the other displaced Santos players secured around $1,500,000 in external sponsorship. But Santos' board refused to reverse their decision, claiming that the women's team cost $2,000,000 a year to run and provided no financial return. Instead ten of the players including Maurine moved to Centro Olímpico. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maurine Dorneles Gonçalves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
