Tayla Carolina Pereira dos Santos (born 9 May 1992), known as Tayla or sometimes as Diva, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a defender for Ferroviária and the Brazilian national team. She was included in Brazil's squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Club career

Tayla joined Santos in 2008, after a successful trial. She then spent three seasons with Foz Cataratas in 2010, 2011 and 2012.[5] Ahead of the 2013 season, Ferroviária signed Tayla, Beatriz, Rilany and Thaisa, all from Foz Cataratas in a quadruple transfer deal.[6]

International career

At the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, Tayla was part of the Brazilian team.[7] Tayla was called into the senior national team squad for the first time in November 2013, for a friendly against the United States at the Florida Citrus Bowl.[8] She made her senior Brazil women's national football team debut on 11 June 2014, a 0–0 friendly draw with France staged in Guyana.

At the 2014 Copa América Femenina, Tayla scored the fourth goal in Brazil's 6–0 rout of Argentina. In February 2015 she was included in an 18-month residency programme intended to prepare Brazil's national team for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada and the 2016 Rio Olympics.[9] Tayla was withdrawn from Brazil's squad for the 2015 Pan American Games due to injury and was sent back to train with her club.[10]
