The Brazil Women’s U-20 National Team returned to training on the afternoon of Tuesday (17th) at the Women’s Football High Performance Center (CARFEM) in Ypané, Paraguay. One day after their victory over the hosts in the opening match of the final hexagonal of the South American Championship, the coaching staff focused on tactical organization and adjustments for the decisive phase of the competition.
The activities were led by coach Camilla Orlando and her staff, with special attention given to players who had little or no playing time in the previous match. On the field, training prioritized specific game situations, with exercises focused on defensive positioning, play construction, and adjustments in offensive performance, to reinforce collective understanding and quick decision-making.

In addition to the tactical aspect, the session served to keep the entire squad in competitive rhythm, ensuring that the players are prepared to perform when called upon. After training, goalkeeper Isa Faichel highlighted the learning gained throughout the competition and reinforced the team’s focus in the final stretch of the South American Championship.
“It was an experience, right? I, for example, had never participated in a South American Championship, you know? So, each game was a different challenge. I think each one had its own vibe as well, but everything that was supposed to happen happened, and now our total focus is on the final phase. Well, Camila is emphasizing those details that make the difference in the game, right? So we’re focused on that so that when the game comes, nothing is missing, everything is perfect,” she said.
Preparation continues at a high pace at CARFEM, where Brazil has been based since the start of the tournament. This Wednesday (18th), the team will hold its final training session before facing Colombia on Thursday (19th) at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time), for the second round of the final phase of the South American Women’s U-20 Championship, at the Estadio Luis Alfonso Giagni, in the Paraguayan city of Villa Elisa.
