At Cotia, Tricolor begin U17 Brasileiro against Athletico-PR | OneFootball

On Friday (29), the U-17 team will make its debut in the Brazilian Championship for the category against Athletico-PR at 5 p.m. at CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia. The match will be streamed on SPFC Play, and admission will be free for fans.

In the competition, the U-17 side reached the semifinals in 2019, 2020, and 2021, and finished as runner-up in 2023.

Like the Brazilian U-20 Championship, the competition features 20 teams, who face each other in a single round-robin format. After 19 rounds, the top eight teams advance to the knockout stage. The new feature of this edition is that the champion will secure a spot in the U-17 Super Cup, facing the winner of this season’s U-17 Copa do Brasil.

Before the debut, midfielder Robert spoke about the team’s preparation for the match.

“We had a good week of preparation. The group is fully focused on the game, and we’ll be going after those three points at home,” said the Made In Cotia player.
