The friendly match between the two continental champions marks the reunion of two giants of women's football. In 2023, Brazil lost on penalties to England in the Finalissima, a tournament that brought together the champions of Conmebol and Uefa.

However, the match on October 25 will not be considered a new edition of the Finalissima.

Arthur Elias evaluates the match

The coach of the National Team described the friendly as “excellent” for the next World Cup cycle. Besides being the current European champions, England is also the world runner-up. In 2023, the English lost the final to Spain.

“It will be a great challenge for us. The England team is in a great moment, they are the current European champions and world runner-up. So, playing against them, who form a very mature team, will be excellent for our athletes and I am very pleased that we have this opportunity right after our Copa América victory,” said Arthur Elias.

Despite the tradition in women's football, the Brazilian National Team has not reached the World Cup quarter-finals since 2011.
