This current call-up also marks the midfielder’s return to the main squad after a period away. Ana Vitória hadn’t played for the national team since 2025, when she had to be cut from a call-up due to injury. Commenting on her return to the Amarelinha, the player highlighted her happiness at wearing the country’s shirt again.

“It’s always a happy moment when we have the opportunity to be here with the Brazilian National Team. This is every one of our dreams since we were children. I’m here again and I’m very happy about it,” she said.

A native of Rondonópolis, Ana Vitória began her football journey in her hometown and went through various youth categories of the Brazilian national team. In her professional career, she also gained experience in European football, playing for clubs such as SL Benfica Feminino, Paris Saint-Germain Féminine, and Atlético de Madrid Femenino.

Before heading to Europe, the midfielder had her first stint at Corinthians between 2017 and 2019. During that period, she played 57 matches, scored eight goals, and provided three assists wearing the black-and-white shirt, as well as winning important titles such as the 2017 Women’s Copa Libertadores and the 2018 Brazilian Women’s Championship. After playing in European football, she returned to Corinthians this year for the 2026 season.

The Brazilian National Team, with broadcast on GE TV (YouTube) and SporTV (pay TV), will take the field at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time) to face Mexico.
