Diana Catarina Ribeiro Gomes (born 26 July 1998) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a centre-back and a midfielder for Spanish Liga F club Sevilla FC and the Portugal women's national team.

Career[edit]

Club[edit]

Gomes started playing at the local team S.C. Freamunde in Paços de Ferreira in 2012. Four years later, she moved to Campeonato Nacional de Futebol Feminino's team, Valadares Gaia F.C.[2] In 2017, Gomes signed with S.C. Braga.

International[edit]

Starting in 2013, Gomes represented Portugal at several youth levels.[3] With the Portugal U17 team, she played the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship, the first time the team qualified for a UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship. Gomes also played three 2017 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualifying tournaments for Portugal U19.

On 3 March 2017 Gomes debuted for Portugal senior team in a 6–0 loss for Denmark.[4] On 19 June 2017 she was included by coach Francisco Neto in the 25-women preliminary squad intended to represent Portugal at the UEFA Women's Euro 2017, the first time the Portuguese national team qualified for a women's football major tournament.[5] On 6 July 2017 Neto released the 23-women final roster, cutting Gomes and Cristiana Garcia from the team.[6][7] However, in the last training session before the departure for the tournament, Jéssica Silva picked up an injury, and on 14 July Gomes was called up by Neto as her replacement.[8][9] Gomes didn't play any match in the competition and Portugal was eliminated in the tournament first stage.

On 30 May 2023, she was included in the 23-player squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.[10]
