Leah Lynn Gabriela Fortune (born 13 December 1990) is a Brazilian football manager and former player. She has been a member of the Brazil women's national team. She has also played for the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) club Orlando Pride.[2]
She was born in São Paulo to American missionary parents and grew up in Illinois.[3] [4] She attended Wheaton Academy, graduating high school in 2009.[5]
FIFA.com describes her as "one of the more unusual players" in the 2010 U-20 Women's World Cup, and describes her style of taking throw-ins as "a remarkable long throw, the prelude of which is a spectacular forward flip to help her launch the ball a long way into the area".[6] In November 2010, Leah was called up to the Brazil women's national football team. However, she tore her anterior cruciate ligament, leaving her out of football for months in recovery.[7]
By virtue of her dual nationality, she could have had the opportunity to play at the senior international level for either Brazil or the United States.[4]
