Dayane da Rocha, Brazil footballer: Profile, Career, News & Videos

Dayane da Rocha , commonly known as Dayane Rocha or simply as Dayane, is a Brazilian football and futsal striker, who has played for professional clubs in Brazil, France, Spain and Italy. She previously played for Irex Puebla and Sporting Huelva in Spain's Superliga.

She received a late call-up to the Brazil national team panel during the 2004 Summer Olympics, as an injury replacement for Kelly who had broken her collarbone.

She transferred to Bardolino Verona in August 2009. In March 2011 Dayane obtained Italian citizenship, allowing her to be treated as a domestic player in Serie A with Bardolino Verona.

Dayane returned to Brazil in 2010 to finish her college scholarship. She intended to resume playing for Novo Mundo but was dismayed to find they had recently disbanded. Instead she played for Kindermann in the 2010 Copa do Brasil. She returned to Kindermann's ranks in 2013.

Throughout her outdoor football career she also enjoyed playing futsal, and decided to focus exclusively on the latter in 2013. She remained in Italy and played successfully for a series of Italian futsal clubs, including Isolotto, Olimpus Roma, Montesilvano, Cagliari, and Granzette (which changed its name to Rovigo Orange in 2022).
