Ceará’s women’s delegation was invited by the Ceará State Sports Department (Sesporte) to attend Arena Castelão this Tuesday, the 9th, and watch the friendly match between Brazil and the United States.

The invitation aimed to provide an immersive experience for the professionals involved in the club’s women’s football program, giving them the chance to closely follow some of the world’s top athletes. In total, more than 20 people — including players, coaching staff members, and support staff — were at Arena Castelão to watch the match.

"It is a very special moment for our athletes, especially for a club like Ceará, which has younger players in its squad. We are close to hosting the 2027 Women’s World Cup, and experiencing this atmosphere at Castelão is rewarding. It is an enriching opportunity for us, who are part of the staff, and also for the athletes. We can only thank Sesporte for the invitation," said Clara Ferreira, technical coordinator of Ceará’s women’s team.

The visit to Castelão took place during the break in the Brazilian Women’s Championship Série A2. The only team from Ceará state in the competition, Ceará sits in 12th place with 10 points and remains in contention for a spot in the tournament’s knockout stage. The team returns to the field on July 12 against Instituto 3B/AM in a postponed match from the 9th round.
