Among the highlighted initiatives is the mobilization of girls from the "Siminina" program to attend the FIFA Series matches, promoting closer contact with football as a tool for social transformation. They will be taken through a partnership between the municipality and the State Secretariat for Culture, Sport and Leisure (SECEL) to watch the games at Arena Pantanal.
