Ana Beatriz Moser (born 14 August 1968) is a Brazilian former volleyball player who helped make the Brazilian women's national volleyball team a dominant force in the 1990s.[1]

Moser was a member of the Brazilian national volleyball team for over a decade, serving as the team captain and winning the squad's first Olympic Games medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics with a bronze medal.[2][3] She participated at the 1999 FIVB World Cup, helping Brazil qualify for the 2000 Summer Olympics, and announced her retirement shortly after the Olympics.[4][5]

In 2009, Moser was inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame.[1]

Personal life

After retirement, Moser was involved in various sports-related social projects.[1] In 2022, it was announced she would become the Minister of Sports in the incoming government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.[6]

In September, 2023, she was dismissed from her position. Moser was the second female minister dismissed by President Lula to make room for the Centrão. The first was Daniela Carneiro, removed from the Ministry of Tourism at the request of União Brasil.[7][8][9]
