Five days before completing one year at the head of the CBF, president Samir Xaud spoke about the responsibility involved in the major challenge ahead next year: the FIFA Women’s World Cup™️. “We have a different vision for women’s football, and I truly believe we will win our first title at home. This work by the team, the behind-the-scenes preparation, the friendlies, and all the dedication will be recognized.”

Arthur Elias noted that the senior national team has faced 27 national teams, holding an edge over 25 of them, with Norway and the United States as the only exceptions. “Because of their quality [as opponents], we need to face them more often. It is essential for the World Cup, and these will be two great matches.” Regarding the extra call-up, the coach said that, with few FIFA dates before the World Cup, it is part of the strategy to have more time to evaluate the players.

CBF Women’s National Teams coordinator Cris Gambaré added: “We have a commitment on the pitch and to the fans. We want to prepare for the World Cup and connect with the cities and the people. This preparation is about integration between the youth and senior national teams.”
