Corinthians Women received a special visit during training this Thursday (16) at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. Hope Lingard, daughter of English midfielder Jesse Lingard, watched part of the Brabas’ activities during her stay in Brazil and took part in moments alongside the black-and-white athletes.

In images shared by the club on social media, the seven-year-old girl appears interacting with the squad, passing the ball around, joining in ball games, and even teaching her traditional celebration to the Corinthians players. At another moment, Hope also wore a personalized Timão shirt with her surname and the number 77.

During the visit, the youngster also received a special invitation from captain Gabi Zanotti. Wearing the number 10 shirt, Gabi invited Hope to walk onto the pitch alongside her in the match between Corinthians and Ferroviária, scheduled for this Friday (17) at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Fazendinha, in the fourth round of the Campeonato Paulista Feminino.

In addition to his daughter’s presence, Jesse Lingard also watched part of the activities at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. The former England international observed the Brabas’ training session and, after the activities ended, stepped onto the pitch to meet the players, taking part in a relaxed moment alongside the squad.

Hope lives in England and already shows interest in pursuing a career in football. The youngster trains regularly, plays in the CDC Academy (Cameroon Doherty Coaching) youth setup, and often shares videos of plays and drills on social media. Jesse Lingard closely follows his daughter’s development and frequently posts footage of the training sessions they do together.

The visit comes just a few days before the Brabas’ Campeonato Paulista fixture. After securing a place in the Women’s Copa do Brasil round of 16 by beating Palmeiras 1-0, Corinthians return to action this Friday (17), when they host Ferroviária at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Fazendinha.
