Adailma Aparecida da Silva dos Santos (born 24 March 1996), known as Duda Santos or just Duda, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Palmeiras.

Club career

Born in Major Isidoro, Alagoas, Duda played futsal and made her senior debut in football with Chapecoense in 2014.[2] In 2017, after a short period at Kindermann/Avaí, she moved abroad with Israeli club Kiryat Gat.

Duda returned to Brazil and Avaí in 2018, being a regular starter until rescinding her contract in January 2021.[3] Late in the month, she joined Palmeiras.[4]

In 2022, Santos was part of the Palmeiras squad that won both the São Paulo Women's State Championship[5] and the Copa Libertadores Femenina.[6]

At the beginning of 2024, she was announced as a new signing for Ferroviária for the season.[7][8]

She stayed the whole 2024 and 2025 seasons with Ferroviária and then, on January 2026, she was announced as a Palmeiras player once again.[9]

International career

After representing Brazil at under-20 level, Duda received her first call up for the full side on 9 November 2020, for friendlies against Argentina.[10] She made her international debut on 27 November of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for Adriana and scoring the side's sixth in a 6–0 win over Ecuador at the Arena Corinthians.[11]
