Today, Boston Legacy FC announced the signing of Brazilian international Andressa Ferreira, known as Kaká, to a two-year contract through 2027 with a club option to renew.
“I’m very happy and motivated by this new challenge,” said Kaká. “Joining Boston Legacy FC represents an important step in my career, within an ambitious club that truly believes in the development of its players. I’m excited to wear Boston’s shirt, contribute on the field, and continue to grow alongside the club in this new chapter.”
She comes from the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino (Brasileirão Feminino) top flight club São Paulo.
The 26-year-old started her journey at age 16 with second-division club Minas Brasília in 2018. Kaká also played for Santos before moving to São Paulo for the 2024 season. In 2025 she won the inter-league Supercopa do Brasil in 2025.
Internationally, she is coming off the Copa América Feminina title with Brazil in 2025 – they went undefeated throughout the tournament.
“We’re very pleased to welcome Kaká to Boston from São Paulo FC in Brazil,” said Legacy general manager Domè Guasch. “She’s extremely comfortable on the ball and plays with a calmness and confidence that aligns well with the way we want to play. Kaká also brings valuable experience at international level with Brazil. She has a strong foundation and, at 26, has some of her best football ahead of her. We believe Kaká has the personality, drive, and mindset to adapt quickly to life in the US and to the demands of the NWSL.”
