Brazil women's team begin training in Manchester ahead of England friendly | OneFootball

The Brazilian women’s national team began preparations this Tuesday for their friendlies against England and Italy, on European soil. The first training session took place at the Curzon Ashton FC training center, located on the outskirts of Manchester, under a light and steady rain typical of the English autumn. Coach Arthur Elias led a technical and tactical session with intensity and a focus on offensive movement, observing the players’ chemistry after the break since the last call-up.

The coaching staff prioritized ball possession drills, high-tempo passing, and positional adjustments, aiming to refine the collective system that will be tested against the European teams.

These two matches are part of Brazil’s planning for the 2027 World Cup and serve as an important gauge to assess the squad’s performance against high-level opponents.

The first match will be this Friday, at 1:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against England at the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City. Next, the team faces Italy on the 28th, at 1:15 p.m., at Ennio Tardini in Parma.

With morale high after winning the 2025 Copa América over Colombia, the team seeks to consolidate its progress under Arthur Elias and continue strengthening its identity on the field. The team’s second training session is scheduled for this Wednesday (22), again in Manchester.
