Corinthians quartet called up for Brazil friendlies before Libertadores | OneFootball

Corinthians will have four representatives on the Brazilian Women’s National Team during the October FIFA window. This Tuesday (22), head coach Arthur Elias announced a 28-player squad for the two friendlies against Argentina and called up Thaís Ferreira, Duda Sampaio, Jaqueline, and Jhonson, all members of the Brabas squad.

The matches will be played in Brazil. The first takes place on October 10 at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre. Three days later, on October 13 at 8:30 p.m., Brazil and Argentina will face each other again, this time at Arena de Pernambuco.

The call-up comes at an important point in Corinthians’ schedule. That is because the national team’s second match will be played just two days before the Brabas’ debut in the 2026 Women’s Libertadores, scheduled for October 15 against Colo-Colo of Chile in Quito, Ecuador.

Corinthians quartet called up by Arthur Elias

Among the black-and-white representatives, Thaís Ferreira appears on the list of center-backs. In midfield, Arthur Elias called up Duda Sampaio and Jaqueline, while Jhonson is part of the forwards group.

Jhonson’s name reaches the squad amid her recent starring role for Corinthians. Last Monday (21), the forward scored the winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Bahia at Neo Química Arena, a result that confirmed the Brabas’ place in the final of the Brazilian Women’s Championship.

Duda Sampaio and Thaís Ferreira also took part in the semifinal against the Bahia side. Jaqueline, meanwhile, appears among the coach’s midfield options in the list released by the CBF.

The Brazilian delegation will begin gathering in Porto Alegre on October 4 and 5, the location chosen for the training camp ahead of the first friendly.

FIFA window comes before the Brabas’ Libertadores debut

The friendlies against Argentina are part of the penultimate FIFA window of the season, scheduled between October 5 and 13. After the matches on Brazilian soil, the national team will still have two games against Japan, set for November 29 and December 5. The period serves as preparation for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, which will be held in Brazil between June 24 and July 25.

For the four Corinthians players, however, the schedule will be even tighter. The second Brazil vs. Argentina match will be played on October 13, while Corinthians will take the field in the Women’s Libertadores two days later against Colo-Colo in Ecuador.

As the current continental champion, Timão will play the competition in Quito. In the first phase, the clubs play three matches, and the top two teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals.

Before the international commitments, the Brabas still have the Brazilian Women’s Championship final ahead of them. Corinthians and São Paulo begin the title race this Saturday (26) at 4:30 p.m. at Neo Química Arena. The return leg will be played on October 3, also at 4:30 p.m., at Morumbis.
