Angel City FC announced the signing Thursday of midfielder Maiara Niehues to a three-year contract through 2027.
The 20-year-old Brazilian arrives from Portugal’s Sporting CP for an undisclosed transfer fee and will occupy an international roster slot.
“Maiara is a box-to-box midfielder with a tremendous future and we are delighted to welcome her to Angel City,” ACFC sporting director Mark Parsons said. “Maiara has shown in the Brazil youth national team and for Sporting CP in Portugal that she is ready to take this step and we believe she can have an important impact for our club over many years.”
Niehues tallied 18 goals and three assists in 57 matches over the past three seasons at Sporting CP. She began her pro career with Brazilian side S.C. Internacional in 2020.
