Leah Lynn Gabriela Fortune (born December 13, 1990) is a Brazilian association footballer who plays for National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) club Orlando Pride.[1] She was born in São Paulo to missionary parents and grew up in Illinois.[2][3] 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".[4] 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.[5]

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.[3]
