Brazil v Venezuela: Under-20s face final test this Saturday | OneFootball

This Saturday (28th), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), the Brazil Women's Under-20 National Team takes the field against Venezuela for the final round of the final hexagonal of the South American Championship, in Ypané (Paraguay). After a 1-1 draw with Ecuador, which postponed the title decision, the match has now become a true final for Brazil.

Brazil leads the hexagonal with 10 points, the result of three wins and one draw, and has the advantage of depending only on itself to become champion. A simple victory over Venezuela secures the continental title, regardless of the result of the match between Ecuador and Paraguay, and confirms the best campaign of the final phase.

Coach Camilla Orlando emphasized the team's focus on maintaining the identity of their campaign: intensity, offensive volume, and unity. Even facing an opponent that is theoretically weaker in the standings, the coaching staff is treating the duel as decisive and expects the team's best performance in the tournament.

On the other side, Venezuela is in a very different situation. The team is at the bottom of the final phase with only two points and needs an unlikely scenario to secure a spot in the Under-20 World Cup. To dream of that, the Venezuelans need to beat Brazil and hope for a combination of favorable results in the other matches of the round, making the mission quite challenging.

What’s at stake in the final round

In addition to Brazil vs. Venezuela this Saturday, the final round features matches that could shake up the title race and the spots for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. Ecuador and Paraguay, both with eight points, still dream of the title: a win combined with a slip by Brazil could give the Ecuadorian team first place. Colombia and Argentina, tied with four points, are fighting to climb the table and secure a better final position. With only two teams already mathematically guaranteed in the World Cup, Saturday night promises excitement until the final whistle.
