society

Paula Cristina last played for SU 1º Dezembro and won the Portuguese championship twice with the club . She also took part with the club in the UEFA Women's Champions League 2010/11 , 2011/12 , 2012/13 , but the club failed in each qualification.

National team

Paula Cristina played her first international match on June 15, 1995 at the age of 19. It was also the Portuguese’s first international match against Iceland and was won 2-1. Edite came on in the 83rd minute. In the second international match in qualifying for the European Championship in 1997 against Croatia, she was substituted on again, this time after 52 minutes and in the 80th minute she scored her first international goal. She was then used in the next seven games, including the Algarve Cup in 1996 , and did not get beyond substitute status. This was followed by an international break of 18 months or nine games, where she was still on the bench in the first two games. It was not until October 18, 1997 that she came on again in the 77th minute of a game against Spain not counted by FIFA, and 12 minutes later she scored the goal to make it 3-0. On March 15, 1998 she was at the Algarve Cup 1998 in the first group game against the Netherlands for the first time in the starting line-up, but was substituted after 65 minutes. After she was not used in the second group game, she came in the third group game against Denmark for her first game over the full distance. In the game for 7th place she was not taken into account again and then four short appearances followed in the next five games, followed by a nine-month international break, in which she was not taken into account in five games. On November 27, 1999, she was back in the starting line-up and played the full distance. She was also in the starting line-up in the next four games, such as the three group games of the Algarve Cup 2000 , but was substituted twice. She couldn't take part in the game for 7th place because she received the yellow-red card in the last group game . After that she was a regular player, but did not get more than 17 games in a row. There was a longer break from May 2007 to March 2008, in which she missed four games. From then on, games over the full distance remained the exception. On June 19, 2010, she made her 100th international match as the second Portuguese . Their 102nd and last international match followed two months later on August 25, 2010.
