A Brazilian futsal player boasted of earning 100 times more making OnlyFans content than playing the sport.
Marcela Soares, 21, claimed she had been sacked by her futsal club Pelotas, located in Rio Grande do Sul state.
Soares claimed her dismissal came after she began sharing content on the adult subscription website OnlyFans.
The Brazilian, who had previously played for Leoas da Serra, Marechal Copagril, Pato Branco, Female and Celemaster, claimed her contract did not prohibit her from posting the content.
Soares has now quit the sport, claiming she had been 'betrayed' by other women and did not want clubs standing in her way of her life away from futsal.
'I love futsal, it’s my passion forever,' Soares said, according to Globo.
'But I can’t stay somewhere that tries to control who I am outside of the game.
'I never stopped being the athlete I always was, and I never disrespected the club, but I was told I was setting a bad example for children.
I was judged, excluded and I felt betrayed even by other women.
'But I also gained something: freedom and financial independence. Today I feel stronger.'
Soares claimed that she initially earned R$550 (£72) per month during the early stages of her football career.
The former futsal player has claimed she now earns R$55,000 (£7,200) from OnlyFans per month.
Soares has also built a large fanbase, with over 247,000 people following her on Instagram alone.
