Ana Cristina da Silva (born 12 December 1985), commonly known as Cris, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Campeonato Piauiense Feminino club Atlético Piauiense.[1]

Cris was part of the Equatorial Guinea women's national football team at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.[2]

On 5 October 2017, Cris and other nine Brazilian footballers were declared by FIFA as ineligible to play for Equatorial Guinea.[3]

Early life

Ana Cristina da Silva was born on 12 December 1985 in Três Rios, a municipality of the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.[4][5]

Club career

While playing for Associação Ferroviária de Esportes (commonly known as Ferroviária) in Brazil, she was a member of the team that won the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino league and the Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino cup double in 2014.[4]

International career

After being nationalised as an Equatoguinean,[6][7] she was selected as a member of the Equatorial Guinea women's national football team for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany.[8] At the time of being named in the squad, she was unattached at club level.[9] When da Silva was a member of the Equatorial Guinea team that won the 2012 African Women's Championship, she was one of 11 out of the 21 players who were naturalized Brazilians playing as Equatoguineans.[6][7]

She continued to play for the Equatoguinean women's team through the qualifying matches for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[10] However, the team were expelled from the tournament after fielding a player with fraudulent documentation.[11]
