Club career

Between the ages of nine and 14, Gabi played alongside her mother Nailza in a women's football team which competed at regional level.{{cite news|last1=Scaramella |first1=Marcella |title=Gabi Zanotti: a única capixaba na seleção brasileira permanente |url=http://gazetaonline.globo.com/_conteudo/2015/03/esportes/mais_esportes/3892198-gabi-zanotti-a-unica-capixaba-na-selecao-brasileira-permanente.htmle |accessdate=26 July 2015 |publisher=Rede Gazeta |date=22 March 2015 |language=Portuguese }}{{dead link|date=January 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Between 2004 and 2006 she played for Kindermann, based in Santa Catarina.{{cite news|title=Jogadora Gabi está de volta ao Kindermann/Uniarp|url=http://www.portalcdr.com.br/noticiasDetalhes.php?id=4970|accessdate=26 July 2015|publisher=Portal Caçador|date=9 February 2014|language=Portuguese}} Gabi then played college soccer in the United States while attending Franklin Pierce University. She spent the 2010 season playing in the North American W-League for Hudson Valley Quickstrike Lady Blues.{{cite news|last1=Kassouf|first1=Jeff|title=Getting to Know: Gabriela Zanotti Demoner|url=http://equalizersoccer.com/2012/03/24/getting-to-know-gabriela-zanotti-demoner/|accessdate=26 July 2015|publisher=The Equalizer|date=24 March 2012}} In 2008 she was with Boston Renegades,{{cite news |last1=Biglin |first1=Mike |title=Demoner expected to make Renegades debut today |url=https://eu.metrowestdailynews.com/story/sports/2008/05/17/demoner-expected-to-make-renegades/41268404007/ |access-date=17 December 2022 |publisher=MetroWest Daily News |date=17 May 2008}} playing eight times and scoring one goal.{{cite web|url=http://www.uslsoccer.com/teams/2008/roster/22299.html |title=Boston Renegades |publisher=USLsoccer.com |accessdate=2010-09-22 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610120315/http://www.uslsoccer.com/teams/2008/roster/22299.html |archivedate=June 10, 2011 }}

In 2011 Gabi played for Santos, but in early 2012 Santos' board of directors closed the club women's section. Gabi accompanied Maurine, Érika and several other displaced Santos players in transferring to Centro Olímpico.{{cite news|last1=Peres|first1=Thiago|title=Em novo time, Érika, Maurine e Gabi confiam em projeto para o ouro|url=http://esportes.terra.com.br/futebol/em-novo-time-erika-maurine-e-gabi-confiam-em-projeto-para-o-ouro,6739fd8c1caaa310VgnCLD200000bbcceb0aRCRD.html|accessdate=19 December 2014|publisher=Terra Networks|date=14 March 2012|language=Portuguese}}

International career

In July 2013 Gabi represented Brazil at the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia.{{cite web|url=http://universiade2013.sportresult.com/eurosport/en/-60/Participant/ParticipantInfo/e2aa5331-614f-4d94-ab4c-1ba8efeb24be|title=Athlete Information|publisher=Universiade Kazan 2013 Russia|accessdate=12 July 2015}} She had already debuted for the senior national team, as a substitute in a 5–2 win over Mexico at the 2009 Torneio Internacional Cidade de São Paulo de Futebol Feminino.{{cite web|last1=Leme de Arruda|first1=Marcelo|title=Seleção Brasileira Feminina (Brazilian National Women's Team) 2008-2010|url=http://www.rsssfbrasil.com/sel/brazil200810w.htm|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|accessdate=20 June 2015|language=Portuguese|date=5 March 2014}}

Gabi was not included in the final squad for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany because she was not cleared by the Brazilian Football Confederation's (CBF) medical department.{{cite news |title=Definida lista da seleção brasileira de futebol feminino para o Mundial |url=https://extra.globo.com/esporte/definida-lista-da-selecao-brasileira-de-futebol-feminino-para-mundial-2020111.html |access-date=8 January 2023 |publisher=Rede Globo |date=11 June 2011 |language=Brazilian Portuguese}}

She was named as an alternate for the Brazil squad at the 2012 London Olympics.{{cite web|title=Women's Olympic Football Tournament London 2012 – List of Players Brazil |url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/01/66/36/85/woft-final-lop-2012-07-24.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120804002100/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/01/66/36/85/woft-final-lop-2012-07-24.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 4, 2012|work=FIFA|date=24 July 2012|accessdate=15 December 2013}} In early 2015 Gabi was included in an 18-month residency programme intended to prepare Brazil's national team for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada and the 2016 Rio Olympics.{{cite news|last1=Kennedy|first1=Paul|title=Road to Vancouver: Brazil's Formiga picked for sixth time|url=http://www.socceramerica.com/article/63917/road-to-vancouver-brazils-formiga-picked-for-six.html|accessdate=11 July 2015|publisher=Soccer America|date=26 May 2015}} At the World Cup, Gabi appeared in just one of Brazil's four matches, as part of a much-changed team in the 1–0 final group game win over Costa Rica.

After Brazil's 1–0 second round defeat by Australia, Gabi remained in Canada as part of the gold medal-winning Brazilian selection at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto.
