Kika Nazareth

Francisca Ramos Ribeiro Nazareth Sousa (born 17 November 2002), simply known as Kika, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward or an attacking midfielder for Liga F club Barcelona and the Portugal national team.

SL Benfica
Nazareth made her senior debut for Benfica at the age of 16 and signed her first professional contract with the club on 7 October 2020, at the age of 17.

2023/2024
On the 2023/2024 season, Nazareth was part of the historical Benfica team that won all four domestic competitions: the Supertaça de Portugal (Portuguese Supercup, third in the club's history), the Taça da Liga (Portuguese League Cup, fourth in the club's history), the Campeonato Nacional (Portuguese League, fourth in the club's history), and the Taça de Portugal (Portuguese National Cup, second in the club's history). This was the first time a women's team in Portugal managed this feat, and it is yet to be replicated.

Nazareth was forced to miss two months of play after sustaining an injury against Valadares Gaia in early January 2024. She returned in March and quickly took back her spot in the starting lineup. Across all competitions (including the Champions League), Nazareth played 37 matches, scoring 25 goals and assisting 8.

FC Barcelona
On 4 July 2024, Nazareth completed a move to Spanish giants FC Barcelona for €500 000, a record fee for the women's football scene in Portugal.

International career
Nazareth made her debut for the Portugal national team on 4 March 2020, coming on as a substitute for Carolina Mendes against Italy in the 2020 Algarve Cup. She scored her first goals for the Portugal national team on 22 june 2022 in a friendly match against Greece, scoring two goals in the first half in a 4-0 win for Portugal. On 30 May 2023, she was included in the 23-player squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.
