The Women’s Under-20 National Team wrapped up its preparations this Friday (4) for its World Cup debut. Under head coach Camilla Orlando and her staff, the players made their final adjustments for the match against Tanzania on Saturday (5) at 10 a.m. (Brasília time). The coach shared her expectations for the clash, stressing that the team is focused and aiming to go far in the tournament.

“We have the best expectations. Making your debut in a World Cup is a very special moment, and we can’t wait to play, because that’s what we came here to do. Expectations are good, but we know we have to take it step by step. Right now we’re not thinking about anything beyond Tanzania, Canada and England — that’s our focus — but of course we’re also dreaming of going very far with this team,” she said.

Camilla also gave her assessment of the group of players arriving at this World Cup with the Brazilian National Team. The squad includes players born in 2006, 2007 and 2008, a generation that, according to the coach, has gone through a complete development process.

“This is a generation with a complete development background, having played in the Brazilian U-17 and U-20 Championships and the Copinha. These are players who are already breaking into their clubs’ senior teams. So we hope this generation can also represent this new chapter in Brazilian women’s football.”

The match between Brazil and Tanzania will be played at 10 a.m. (Brasília time) on Saturday (5) at Bielsko-Biala Stadium in Poland. The game will be broadcast live on SporTV and CazéTV.
