Benfica’s Clarinha and Thaís Lima earn Brazil call-ups to face Argentina | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Benfica women’s players Clarinha and Thaís Lima have been called up by Brazil for two October friendlies against Argentina. The midfielder and goalkeeper will join the senior national team during the international break.

The pair are among 28 players named in a squad announced by Arthur Elias. The announcement covers the October international window.

For Clarinha, the call offers a chance to make her senior debut. Both recently featured at the Under-20 World Cup and had been included in previous Elias squads.

The first game is on 10 October at Estádio Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre. The teams meet again three days later at Arena de Pernambuco. The fixtures form part of Brazil’s build-up to the 2027 World Cup, to be staged in Brazil.

The squad is notable for the absence of Marta, who has recently returned from injury. With limited minutes for Orlando Pride, she is not selected for this double-header.

Before the international break, Benfica host Bayern Munich in the Women’s Champions League 2026/27 second matchday. The tie is set for 30 September at 20:00 at Estádio da Luz, with ticket prices already confirmed by the club.
