Brazil U20s impress, squad depth shines at Copa Sul-Americana

The Brazilian Women's Under-20 National Team is experiencing the moment that coach Camilla Orlando has emphasized since the beginning: evolution throughout the South American Championship. With each game more consistent and confident, Brazil has been transforming words into performance on the field, reflected in results and the collective strength that has become the team's main hallmark. For Camilla Orlando, Brazil's greatest asset lies precisely in the preparation of the entire group and the shared mentality among the athletes.

The numbers prove this collective strength. Brazil has already had 13 different players scoring goals in the tournament, highlighting a distributed, unpredictable, and hard-to-mark attack. The variety of goal scorers shows that the team does not rely on a single athlete and reinforces the confidence built throughout the campaign.

“Our great strength is the power of our group, our squad. Everyone is being prepared to play at any moment, and they have embraced this idea. Even when a player is out, she knows she will be ready when the opportunity arises. We had goals from different athletes, and that is very special,” highlighted the coach.

Among the individual highlights is forward Brendha, Brazil's top scorer in the competition, with four goals. She is just behind Argentina's Kishi Núñez, who has one more goal and leads the list of top scorers in the South American Championship. Even during this great phase, the player made a point of valuing the collective work and the environment built within the group.

“I am very happy with this moment, but none of this would be possible without my teammates, the coaching staff, and everyone who believes in my work. It is the result of a lot of daily work, and when the opportunity arises, I try to make the most of it. Scoring goals for the National Team is the dream of all of us,” she stated.

Leading the final hexagonal, Brazil returns to the field next Wednesday (25th) at 6 PM at the Women's Football High-Performance Center Stadium in Paraguay to face Ecuador, the runner-up in the decisive phase. In case of victory, the Brazilian National Team will be very close to securing the title and crowning a campaign marked by the maturity and commitment of a group that has evolved together with each match.
