Brazilian Beach Soccer National Team Called Up for the 2026 Nations CupCredits: CBF Press

Fresh off winning the Conmebol Liga Evolución title this past weekend in Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, the players and coaching staff of the Brazilian Beach Soccer National Team have already flown to João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba, where Brazil will compete in yet another tournament. This time, the challenge is the Nations Cup, taking place from March 18 to 21, as part of the Paraíba World Beach Games, the largest event in the country for sports played on sand, held in the arena set up in front of the Busto de Tamandaré, between Cabo Branco and Tambaú beaches.

Coach Chicão Castelo Branco, who will be leading the National Team for the second time, kept almost all the championship-winning players from Guarujá in his call-up. The only two changes were the departures of defender Catarino and winger Mauricinho, and the inclusion of Brendo from Espírito Santo and Filipe Silva from Pernambuco. Catarino and Mauricinho have returned to Sportivo Luqueño, where they will play in the final stage of the Paraguayan Beach Soccer Championship.

“Every opportunity we have to train and play is valuable for building the team in this new phase we are experiencing. We came to João Pessoa well in advance precisely to have more time to work. I am sure these will be two very productive weeks and we will enter another competition strong,” said coach Chicão Castelo Branco.
