She has been named the Latvian Footballer of the Year on six occasions. à  evcova has played for clubs based in Lithuania, Estonia and Iceland, as well as in her native Latvia.
à  evcova's first club was JFC Skonto, where she played in the boys' youth teams under veteran coach Vladimirs Beüajevs. She joined à  itika Futbola skola in 2004, then moved on to FC Skonto/Cerëba-46.vsk. where she played from 2007 until 2009.
Moving abroad, à  evcova then joined Lithuanian Women's A League champions Gintra Universitetas à  iauliai and participated in the club's 2009âÂÂ10 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round campaign. From 2010 until 2014 à  evcova spent five seasons playing for Pärnu JK of the Estonian Naiste Meistriliiga.
In 2011 à  evcova was named Latvian Footballer of the Year for the first time, after five goals in 18 league games for Meistriliiga champions Pärnu and one against Peamount United in a 2011âÂÂ12 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round defeat. She won the Latvian Footballer of the Year award for a second time in 2013.
à  evcova did not play in the 2015 season, as she was pregnant. Following the birth of her child, she returned to Latvian Women's League football with Rëgas FS in 2016. After helping Rëgas FS to a "double" in 2017, à  evcova was named Latvian Footballer of the Year for a third time. Continued good form saw her retain the award in 2018 and 2019. In 2019 she was one of several players to depart the dominant Rëgas FS club for newly-formed FK Dinamo Rëga, who then captured the Latvian Women's League title.
In January 2020 à  evcova transferred to the Icelandic ÃÂrvalsdeild kvenna club ÃÂBV, along with her compatriots Elëza Spruntule and Karlëna Miksone. After a promising 2020 season in which she scored three goals in 16 appearances, à  evcova agreed a new one-year contract with ÃÂBV. In 2021 à  evcova was voted ÃÂBV's Player of the Year after she scored six goals in 16 appearances. She extended her contract again in December 2021.
In November 2023 à  evcova was transferred to the Turkish Women's Football Super League club Fenerbahçe S.K. à  evcova's transfer was one of the most notable moves in the history of Latvian women's football.
à  evcova has been capped for the Latvia women's national football team. She made her debut on 3 March 2011, in a 2âÂÂ0 UEFA Women's Euro 2013 qualifying preliminary round defeat by Luxembourg in Strumica. She appeared for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.
à  evcova became historic as the first ever Latvia women's national team player to score against Sweden or any top 10 ranked national team in the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 qualifying match played on 3 September 2019. Latvia was ranked 93 by FIFA and 43 by UEFA (fifth last of all who entered) at the time, in contrast to Sweden's sixth place.
Occasionally à  evcova has been unavailable for national team fixtures due to what the Latvian Football Federation (LFF) has described as: "ãimenes apstÃÂküu" (), including in the return fixture with Sweden. For the same reason, she was one of several regular national team players who were unable to participate in the November 2021 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification match against England, in which a depleted Latvia team suffered a record 20âÂÂ0 defeat.
An adaptable attacking player, Ã Â evcova is capable of playing in most forward positions on the pitch.
