Brazil women's beach soccer team wrap up training camp at Granja Comary | OneFootball

The Brazilian Women's Beach Soccer Team concluded its first training microcycle of the year 2026 on the morning of this Friday (13th). The sessions, led by coach Rose Andrade, began on Monday (9th), when all 12 athletes and the 12 members of the technical staff arrived at Granja Comary.

Besides marking a historic event, as it was the first time the women's team trained on the sand field of the official CBF training center in Teresópolis, the period served for Rose Andrade to start preparing her team for this year's game schedule and to assess the athletes' physical, technical, and mental conditions.

“This preparation period was important for us to work a lot on the tactical part and also on behavior. We prioritized behavioral aspects both on and off the field during this microcycle. I want a team with more attitude during the games. Tactically, we focused on transitions, leveraging the best of our team, and the individual characteristics of the selected players. We extracted the maximum from them, bringing out the best in each one. They were able to assimilate what we want for the Brazilian Team in this year's competitions,” said the Brazilian coach.

To enhance this work, the delegation had a multidisciplinary technical staff during the five days, which shows how CBF is paying more attention to Brazilian beach soccer. Coordinator Chicão Castelo Branco emphasizes the importance of this for the growth of the sport.

“I believe this microcycle made it clear to the athletes and technical staff members the importance of all roles within a work group. We brought in a psychologist for the first time to a microcycle, and I believe it was a great decision by our management, led by director Mauro Carmélio and manager Lavoisier Freire. Taking care of mental health is increasingly important. Additionally, we conducted analyses, data creation, numbers, and statistics to start creating a system and know where we are heading,” said Chicão.

“The mission of the teams now is to maintain this aura, this idea of high performance, and, most importantly, to be sure that our beach soccer is very significant and that we can always do more and better,” he stated.

The women's team will meet again in April for international tournaments in El Salvador and Mexico. Coach Rose Andrade will make a new call-up in March.
