The Daminhas da Bola won the Série Ouro of the CBF Transforma Women's Under-13 Futsal League against Grajaú Country Club on Sunday afternoon (8), securing a spot to represent the Brazilian National Team in the CONMEBOL Liga Evolución at the end of March in Rio. In a rematch of the 2025 final, the project from Duque de Caxias (RJ) once again defeated the team from Rio, this time by 2-1, coming from behind to secure the tournament's championship for the second time.

Luany, an athlete from Daminhas da Bola, was named the standout player of the Série Ouro. In an interview with CBF TV, the team's coach, Lohayne Campos, celebrated the title and discussed the responsibility and joy of playing for Brazil in the South American tournament.

“The athletes emphasized the visibility and growth that the League provides to women's futsal, helping them understand the essence of futsal, what it brings to us, and what it gives back. I made sure to instill this in their minds,” celebrated the coach, who also highlighted the structure provided by CBF.

“The responsibility (of representing the Brazilian National Team) will always be enormous, it's our country, and that carries a lot of weight. We will stay focused and continue training to achieve something greater,” she concluded.

ABOUT THE CBF TRANSFORMA WOMEN'S UNDER-13 FUTSAL LEAGUE

The CBF Transforma Women's Under-13 Futsal League is an initiative by CBF and CONMEBOL to promote women's football and futsal in the country, reinforcing the commitment to equal opportunities and the growth of the sport. The entities covered logistics, food, accommodation, medical insurance, hydration, and ice.

Despite the competitive nature of the Silver and Gold Series, this is not the championship's mission. During the competition, each team, which could register ten athletes, started the match with an initial quintet that was mandatorily substituted for the second quarter, ensuring minimum playing time for all players. In the third and fourth periods, substitutions were free.

The “Evolution” Award was given to the participating team that demonstrated loyal and sincere behavior throughout the competition, both on and off the court. This respectful, supportive, and disciplined attitude extended to other teams, as well as to referees and officials and all participants of the CBF Transforma Women's Under-13 Futsal League. There was only a distinction for the goalkeeper with the fewest goals conceded, the top scorer, and the standout player.

To determine the winner of the “Evolution” Award, each team started with one hundred points, which were deducted based on criteria such as expulsion, suspension, warning, failure to meet schedules, among other actions.

It was mandatory for each technical committee to have at least two women in its composition, and their coaches had to present registration with the Regional Council of Physical Education (CREF) or a CBF Academy C License.
