Ary Borges
Ary Borges was born in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, but she moved to São Paulo when she was ten years old. There, she joined the youth team of Santos FC, and she was one of the three girls who played alongside the boys. Her father signed a document to protect the club from legal action if she got injured while playing with the boys. When she was 11, she switched to Centro Olímpico and played in the girls' under-15 team because there was no under-13 team available.
