Benfica players called up to Brazil's senior squad | OneFootball

Clarinha and Thaís Limaare among the 28 players called up by Brazil for the two friendlies against Argentina. The midfielder and the goalkeeper represent Benfica in the squad announced by Arthur Elias for the October international window.

For Clarinha, the call-up opens up the possibility of earning her first minutes for the senior national team. The young midfielder recently featured at the U-20 World Cup, as did Thaís Lima, and both had already been included in previous squads selected by Arthur Elias.

The first match will be played on 10 October at Beira-Rio Stadium in Porto Alegre. Brazil and Argentina will face each other again three days later at the Arena de Pernambuco. The games are part of Brazil’s preparations for the 2027 World Cup, which will be held in the country itself.

The squad announcement is also marked by the absence of Marta. The legendary Brazil international recently recovered from an injury, but has had limited playing time for Orlando Pride, and was therefore not included for this double-header against Argentina.

It is worth noting that the Benfica players will also take part in the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich. Benfica has already set ticket prices for the home match against the Bavarian club, corresponding to the second matchday of the 2026/27 Women’s Champions League. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, 30 September, at 8:00 pm, at the Estádio da Luz.
