Brazil Women’s National Team will have two friendlies featuring a Flamengo player

Head coach Arthur Elias called up the players this Wednesday (20) to represent the Brazil Women’s National Team in matches against the United States. As a result, the squad includes the return of Marta and midfielder Kaylane, the only Flamengo representative for the two friendlies.

“The Mengão midfielder, just 17 years old, was called up by Arthur Elias for two friendlies against the United States, on June 6 and 9. We knew this moment would come, and we’re very happy. You deserve it, Kaká! Congratulations!,” Flamengo celebrated on its Instagram profile.

How is Kaylane doing at Flamengo?

Despite the inconsistent season of the Meninas da Gávea, the young player has stood out for the team after representing Brazil at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. The midfielder, for example, prevented a home loss to Ferroviária with a late goal in the 1-1 draw.

Where will Brazil and the USA play?

The first friendly will take place at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena. The second match between the teams will then kick off at 9:30 p.m. at Castelão, in Fortaleza.

How long had it been since Marta last returned?

Marta last played for the national team in August 2025, when the team beat Colombia on penalties after a 4-4 draw in regulation time. The victory secured the Copa América title, with two goals from the Queen, who came off the bench in the second half.
