With São Paulo center-back Lucas Miranda in the squad, the Brazil U-16 National Team won the Montaigu Tournament title this Monday. The national side defeated Portugal 1-0 in the final at Maxime Bossis Stadium in Montaigu, France.

Captain in the final, the Tricolor defender was one of the team’s leaders throughout the campaign and had the honor of lifting the trophy. “Everyone was very committed and we played an excellent match against Portugal. We prepared a lot to bring home this title. It’s a really great tournament. We learn from different schools and cultures, we learn new playing characteristics, new formations, new structures. We’re all very happy,” said the Made In Cotia center-back.

Brazil finished the competition unbeaten, with four wins, six goals scored, and only one conceded. In the group stage, the team faced Ivory Coast, China, and host nation France.

With the title, Brazil now has its third tournament championship, following victories in 1984, 2022, and 2026, and becomes the South American country with the most trophies in the competition’s history, surpassing Argentina, which has two.
