Club career

International career
editLuís scored on her senior debut for the Portugal women's national football team on 17 September 2011, an 8–0 UEFA Women's Euro 2013 qualifying win over Armenia.
She was named by coach Francisco Neto in the 23-player Portugal squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2017 in the Netherlands.[5]
