Tiffany Abreu Joins Superliga’s “7 Points” Player Club

She is indeed making history.

The fact that she made club history this season by scoring the most points in 1 match, we are not surprised the she her player status gets an upgrade for next season.

For the 2018-2019 season, Tiffany together with Dani Lins, Fabiana Claudino, Thaisa Menezes, Fe Garay, Gabriela Guimaraes, Natalia Pereira and Tandara Caixeta are ranked with 7 points.

Two time Olympic champions Jaqueline and Sheilla, who is on break since 2016, are no longer part of the list.

In case you didn’t know, the Brazilian League implements a point system for some of the country’s best players aka “7 points”. Each club team can only have 2 players from the “7 Points” list and 2 foreign players.

In the case of Tiffany, it’s a double edged sword for her career. She is a great player that teams can afford but teams may be hesitant to hire her for being a trans athlete.

As for Sheilla and Jaque, it may make it easier for them to find a team now since they’re excluded from the list.
