Women’s U20 beach soccer side wrap up first training camp | OneFootball

The first training camp in the history of the Brazil Women’s Under-20 Beach Soccer National Team came to an end last Sunday (27). Recently created by the CBF, the team, led by Rose Andrade, who also coaches the senior women’s team, spent a week training at Camburi Beach in Vitória, Espírito Santo, where Rose was able to show the young players how the women’s teams in the sport should play.

The schedule began on Monday (21), with the delegation arriving in the Espírito Santo state capital in the morning. That evening, everyone took part in a ceremony at City Hall’s auditorium for the team’s official launch.

Training sessions began on Tuesday (22) and ran through Friday (25), including a clinic with children from the ITESP project on the final day.

Over the weekend, Rose Andrade led the team in training matches against the Espírito Santo Under-20 team. Goalkeeper Àgatha, from Cabofriense, was called up to join the squad for those matches after Valentiny suffered an injury in Friday’s training session.

On Saturday (26), the hosts won 3-2, with pivot Jajá scoring Brazil’s two goals. On Sunday (27), it was Brazil’s turn to win, by a score of 4-2, with goals from Jajá, Syll, Lelê, and Anny.

“I want to thank everyone for this moment that all of us players experienced this week. It was magical to see this dream become reality. As for the matches, I was very happy as well. In the first one, we came in a little nervous and anxious, and we didn’t do what we had practiced. In the second match, we were more focused and the positive result came,” said captain Yandra, a player from Espírito Santo, who had family and friends in the stands, making the moment even more special.

Coach Rose Andrade made a point of praising the entire process managed by the CBF, as well as the girls who were part of this historic moment.

“The CBF provided the full structure that the men’s and women’s senior national teams have. A complete coaching staff, all the best equipment for the players, coaching staff, and medical department. We can only thank president Samir Xaud, and CBF beach soccer director and manager Mauro Carmélio and Lavoisier Freire, for all their support, care, and professionalism. That certainly carried over to the players, who showed great commitment throughout the week of work. We wrapped up with two good training matches, which showed that we are on the right track,” said the Brazilian coach.
