Tamara Bolt

Tamara Paranaguá do Carmo (born May 12, 2003), known as Tamara Bolt, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right winger for the Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).

Career Born in Salvador, Bolt played for Bahia's youth side before joining Internacional in September 2021. She began playing for the club's first team at right back or winger in 2022. In three seasons with Internacional, she made 88 appearances, scoring 10 goals and 15 assists, and won two Gauchão state titles and one Ladies Cup.

The Washington Spirit announced on 9 January 2025 that they had signed Bolt to a one-year contract with options to extend another two years. The following month, she and teammate Deborah Abiodun joined USL Super League club Dallas Trinity on a year-long loan for an undisclosed fee. Bolt's first and only goal for the Trinity came five minutes into a 3–1 win over Lexington SC on 26 April. On 31 May, she assisted the opening goal by Allie Thornton in the season finale against the Carolina Ascent, a 2–1 win that clinched a playoff berth for Trinity. During the USL offseason, the Spirit picked up Bolt's contract option for the following year. She returned to Dallas in the fall and finished the loan having made 27 appearances.

Bolt made her Spirit debut as an 84th-minute substitute for Rosemonde Kouassi in a season-opening 1–0 loss to the Portland Thorns on 13 March 2026.
