Starting next Thursday (26th), the Brazilian men's and women's teams will travel together to compete in an international tournament for only the second time in history, since the women's team was created in 2019. Just like that year, when they simultaneously competed in the World Beach Games in Qatar, they will once again be together in an international tournament, the El Salvador Cup, from April 2 to 4, in the city of San Salvador, the capital of the Central American country. All the preparation will take place on Meaípe Beach, in Guarapari, Espírito Santo.

Brazil returns to training on Espírito Santo soil after 6 years. The last time was in March 2020, when then-coach Gilberto Costa led a week of training in Anchieta. Now, thanks to a partnership between the CBF, the Espírito Santo State Football Federation, and the Espírito Santo Beach Soccer Federation (FECABES), the stars of the sport will once again be in the state that boasts a beautiful history with beach soccer.

“It is a great pleasure to once again welcome the biggest names in Brazilian and world beach soccer to Espírito Santo. We are a state passionate about football, especially beach soccer, with great names marked in the history of the sport and our national teams, both male and female. It will be a special moment,” said Gustavo Vieira, president of FES.

The teams' schedule in Guarapari includes clinics for children and friendly matches against the Espírito Santo Selection, for both men and women. The Brazilian delegation arrives next Thursday (26th) and will carry out activities and training under the command of coach Chicão Castelo Branco until Sunday (29th). After that, everyone will depart for El Salvador.

“Our beach soccer calendar for this year was designed to further value the sport, our teams, and our athletes. In addition, to promote the sport as social inclusion and carry out actions to encourage sports practice. The CBF, through president Samir Xaud and director Mauro Carmélio, is putting this into practice with great responsibility,” explains the CBF beach soccer manager, Lavoisier Freire.

The two friendly matches on Saturday and the two to be held on Sunday will be broadcast live by TVE Espírito Santo. However, those who want to see the players up close will be welcomed with a top-notch structure.

“We are preparing a big celebration to welcome our teams. We are setting up a very beautiful arena in partnership with the Guarapari city hall, worthy of the stars we will have on the field. It will be a very beautiful event,” said the president of FECABES, Marcos Filho.
