Integration and alignment | OneFootball

Botafogo’s Health and Performance Center held its general alignment meeting for the second half of 2026 last Wednesday (26). The event brought together more than 70 H&PC staff members, including doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists, physiologists, psychologists, nutritionists, and social service professionals from all levels of Alvinegro football.

"When we think about the importance of an alignment cycle like this, I believe the main point is understanding that an organization does not evolve solely through the individual quality of its professionals. It is essential that everyone is connected by a common purpose and has a clear understanding of where we are and where we want to go," shared Marcos Cezar, Manager of Glorioso’s Health and Performance Center.

The H&PC works with Professional Football, Youth Academy teams, and Women’s Football—contexts with their own demands and particularities, but which share the same institutional principles and goals. In this sense, the H&PC’s 2nd Alignment Cycle represents an opportunity to bring different areas closer together, promote the exchange of experiences, knowledge, and best practices, and strengthen integration and collective work among professionals.

"I also want to highlight the excellent work being carried out by the Youth Academy H&PC, coordinated by Luiz Novack, and by the Women’s Football H&PC, coordinated by Bruno Senos. We have been building and strengthening these structures in an integrated way, and it is very rewarding to see the quality, commitment, and excellence shown by all the professionals involved," added Marcos Cezar.

The cycle reinforces the importance of keeping the H&PC in constant evolution, keeping pace with changes in sport, incorporating new knowledge and technologies, and rethinking processes when necessary. The integration between Professional, Youth Academy, and Women’s Football, combined with valuing people and a willingness to learn and innovate, is presented as essential to consolidating an increasingly strong, connected, and prepared Center capable of offering the best solutions to the club.
