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 team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and also played at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup and 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

On September 22, 2009, the Atlanta Beat, an expansion team of Women's Professional Soccer selected Maurine in the 2009 WPS International Draft, acquiring exclusive rights (within WPS) to negotiate with her.

International career

At the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, naturally right-footed Maurine was deployed on the left of Brazil's midfield.[3]

Maurine was selected for her second Olympic football tournament at London 2012. FIFA.com described her as one of the team's key players.[4] Amidst allegations of a broken down bus plot,[5] Brazil lost their final group E game 1–0 to hosts Great Britain before a record crowd of 70,584 at Wembley Stadium. That meant a quarter-final against World Cup holders Japan, who eliminated Brazil by winning 2–0 at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

In May 2014, incoming coach Vadão recalled Maurine to the national team after a gap of nearly two years.[6]
