'''Renata Aparecida da Costa''' (born 8 July 1986), commonly known as '''Renata Costa''' or '''Kóki''', is a Brazilian [[Association football|football]] [[Coach (sports)|coach]] and former player, most recently an assistant coach with [[Esporte Clube Iranduba da Amazônia|Iranduba]]. She represented the [[Brazil women's national football team]] at three editions of the [[FIFA Women's World Cup]] ([[2003 FIFA Women's World Cup|2003]], [[2007 FIFA Women's World Cup|2007]] and [[2011 FIFA Women's World Cup|2011]]) and three [[Football at the Summer Olympics|Olympic football tournament]]s ([[Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|2004]], [[Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|2008]] and [[Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|2012]]).

== Career ==
She played as a creative [[midfielder]] for [[Brazil]]'s [[Botucatu Futebol Clube|Botucatu FC]] from 2005, and was a member of the Brazilian national teams that won the silver medal at the [[2004 Summer Olympics]] and [[2008 Summer Olympics]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Sports Reference|title=Kóki Biography and Statistics|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/da/renata-da-costa-1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200221174339/http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/search/athlete_search.cgi?search=renata+da+costa+|url-status=dead|archive-date=2020-02-21|access-date=2009-10-27}}</ref> She is known for her precise passing and goal scoring prowess.

In January 2008, Costa signed for Danish [[Elitedivisionen]] club [[Odense Q|OB Odense]]. Her new coach described her as a strong midfielder with good technique who could score goals and also play in defence.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Holbech |first1=Ole |title=Brasiliansk vice-verdensmester på OB's Ligahold |url=https://www.tv2fyn.dk/artikel/brasiliansk-vice-verdensmester-pa-obs-ligahold |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=[[TV 2/Fyn]] |date=21 January 2008 |language=da}}</ref> It was reported that Costa's [[Transfer (association football)|transfer]] was one of the first involving Brazilian female players to generate a profit for the selling club.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lavinas |first1=Thiago |title=Renata Costa, vendida, gera renda ao Botucatu |url=http://globoesporte.globo.com/ESP/Noticia/Futebol/Campeonatos/0,,MUL283055-9354,00-RENATA+COSTA+VENDIDA+GERA+RENDA+AO+BOTUCATU.html |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=[[Rede Globo]] |date=1 February 2008 |language=pt}}</ref>

On 24 September 2008, Costa's American transfer rights were drafted by the [[Saint Louis Athletica]] in the [[2008 WPS International Draft]]. Instead of joining the new American franchise, she accepted a competing offer from [[FC Rosengård|LdB FC Malmö]] of the Swedish [[Damallsvenskan]]. LdB FC took over the final year of Costa's Odense contract, paying an undisclosed transfer fee to the Danish club.<ref>{{cite news |title=Brasilianska till Malmö |url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/a/gP3awA/brasilianska-till-malmo |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=[[Aftonbladet]] |date=21 January 2009 |language=sv}}</ref>

In January 2014, Russian [[Russian Women's Football Championship|Top Division]] club [[Kubanochka Krasnodar]] announced the triple signing of Costa and her compatriots [[Danielli Pereira da Silva|Danielli]] and [[Amanda Brunner]].<ref>{{cite news |script-title=ru:"Кубаночка" пополнилась тремя футболистками из Бразилии |url=https://www.yuga.ru/news/320495/ |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=Yuga.ru |date=27 January 2014 |language=ru}}</ref> The club reached the 2014 [[Russian Women's Cup]] final, but were beaten 5–0 by [[Ryazan-VDV]].

Upon her return to Brazil, Costa joined [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista (women's football)|Corinthians]], who had reformed in conjunction with [[Grêmio Osasco Audax Esporte Clube]] and were known as Corinthians Audax.<ref>{{cite news |title=Koki e Grazi: parceiras antigas juntas no Audax |url=https://www.cbf.com.br/futebol-brasileiro/noticias/copa-brasil-feminino/parceria-antiga-no-audax |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=[[Brazilian Football Confederation]] |date=26 September 2016 |language=pt}}</ref> After helping Corinthians Audax to win the [[2016 Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino]], she signed for ambitious [[Amazonas (Brazilian state)|Amazonas]]-based [[Esporte Clube Iranduba da Amazônia|Iranduba]] in October 2017.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ex-Corinthians e Seleção, volante Renata Costa é o novo reforço do Iranduba |url=https://globoesporte.globo.com/am/futebol/times/iranduba/noticia/ex-corinthians-e-selecao-volante-renata-costa-e-o-novo-reforco-do-iranduba.ghtml |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=[[Rede Globo]] |date=1 October 2017 |language=pt}}</ref> Costa retired from playing following the 2019 season, but remained at the club as an assistant coach for a time before announcing her departure in June 2020.<ref>{{cite news |title=Renata Costa pede a rescisão com o Iranduba-AM e deixa clube após quatro anos entre atleta e auxiliar |url=https://ge.globo.com/am/futebol/times/iranduba/noticia/renata-costa-pede-a-rescisao-com-o-iranduba-am-e-deixa-clube-apos-quatro-anos-entre-atleta-e-auxiliar.ghtml |access-date=8 January 2023 |publisher=[[Rede Globo]] |date=3 June 2020 |language=Brazilian Portuguese}}</ref>

Despite playing as a midfielder at club level, with Brazil she played as a [[Sweeper (association football)|sweeper]], notably alongside centre-backs [[Tânia Maria Pereira Ribeiro|Tânia]] and [[Aline Pellegrino|Aline]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Renata Costa |url=https://pan.uol.com.br/pan/2007/modalidades/futebol/brasileiros/renatacosta.jhtm |access-date=4 January 2019 |publisher=[[Universo Online]] |language=pt}}</ref>
