Head coach Diogo Barros highlighted the quality of the selected squad and said the team is arriving confident for the competition.

"We are coming into this competition with a very well-prepared group. We have the advantage of maintaining continuity in our work with a large part of these players, which strengthens team chemistry and allows us to improve important aspects of our game in every training session. This process is the result of the continuity of the call-ups and all the support that the CBF provides to futsal youth categories. We already know the players well, they know each other, and they are adapted to the coaching staff’s methodology. That gives us confidence to have a great tournament," said Diogo Barros.

At the South American U-17 Futsal Championship, Brazil is looking to return to the top of the podium. The Brazilian National Team is the current runner-up in the competition, after being defeated by Argentina 2-0 in the final of the 2024 edition.

Despite that result, the team heads into the tournament in a positive moment. In recent months, Brazil’s U-17 National Team has won important titles such as the Dakar en Jeux Festival, the South American Youth Games, and the Nations League, results that reinforce the group’s preparation and confidence for the South American Championship.
