E.C. Taboão was crowned champion of the Silver Series of the CBF Transforma Women's Under-13 Futsal League on the morning of this Sunday (8), by defeating the Dellas Gol project 7-1 at the Philippe Coutinho Institute in Rio de Janeiro. In the second edition of the tournament, the team from São Paulo repeated the achievement obtained in 2025.

To secure the title, Taboão relied on the performances of goalkeepers Alice and Karol, who finished as the least scored upon, with only six goals conceded, and delivered excellent performances throughout the competition. They received their trophies from ambassador Bianca Castagnaro, their fellow goalkeeper and world champion with the Brazilian Women's Futsal National Team. The São Paulo team also counted on the seven goals from Vitória, the top scorer of the Silver Series.

“This is a very gratifying moment for us. We came to this competition very focused not only on the court, but also for the girls to experience and get to know the Maracanã, the CBF headquarters, and extraordinary things. I think the title crowns everything this competition meant to us, which was an extraordinary cultural experience and learning,” celebrated Taboão’s coach, Débora Moreno.

In the final, they faced Dellas Gol, led by Helena, the standout athlete of the competition, who celebrated the opportunity to play, for the first time in her life, in a women’s tournament.

“I am very happy. I always wanted to win a standout trophy in a championship. It’s my first time playing in the women’s category, I usually play in the men’s and I’m one of the only girls. My mother came to watch me every day, I want to dedicate this award to her and to my grandmother, whose birthday is today,” she celebrated.

About the CBF Transforma Women's Under-13 Futsal League

Despite the competitive aspect of the Silver and Gold Series, this is not the championship’s main mission. During the tournament, each team, which could register ten athletes, starts the match with an initial quintet, which must be mandatorily substituted for the second quarter, ensuring minimum playing time for all players. In the third and fourth periods, substitutions are free.

The “Evolution” Award will be given to the participating team that demonstrates, throughout the competition, loyal and sincere behavior, both on and off the court. This respectful, supportive, and disciplined attitude should extend to other teams, as well as referees, officials, and all participants of the CBF Transforma Women's Under-13 Futsal League. There will only be distinctions for the best goalkeeper, the top scorer, and the standout athlete.

To determine the winner of the “Evolution” Award, each team will start with one hundred points, which will be deducted based on criteria such as expulsions, suspensions, warnings, failure to comply with schedules, among other actions.

Each coaching staff must have two women in its composition and their training must be registered with the Regional Council of Physical Education (CREF) or hold a C CBF Academy License.

The CBF Transforma Women's Under-13 Futsal League is an initiative of CBF and CONMEBOL to promote women’s football and women’s futsal in the country, reinforcing the commitment to equal opportunities and the growth of the sport.
