International career

Dida represented Brazil on the under-19 and under-20 national teams and was also called up at senior level.[1][2][3]

Controversy

From 2015 to 2016, Dida made appearances for the Equatorial Guinea national team despite having no connection with the African nation. She played the 2015 CAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament and the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations Qualifying.[4] On 5 October 2017, she and other nine Brazilian footballers were declared by FIFA as ineligible to play for Equatorial Guinea.[5]
