Who is Elaine Moura?
Elaine Estrela Moura is a Brazilian footballer. A versatile player that can be used in the defense or midfield, she plays for Swedish club Älta IF on loan from Tyresö as well as the Brazil women's national football team.
She started playing soccer influenced by her brother, and played for Bahia teams until 2000, but never getting any salary. Three years later, she became professional in Ferroviária. After a game between the Brazilian national team and Umeå IK in 2004, she was contracted by Umeå and played for them in Damallsvenskan from 2005 to 2009, where she joined Marta.
In 2010 she moved to the USA and played for Saint Louis Athletica in Women's Professional Soccer. When the club went bust shortly afterwards, she decided to return to Sweden and joined Tyresö FF of Damallsvenskan, where she's been playing since.
Tyresö won the Damallsvenskan title for the first time in the 2012 season and Elaine collected her fifth Swedish league winner's medal. With competition for places becoming very strong at Tyresö, Elaine moved on loan to nearby Elitettan club Älta IF in July 2013.
