The Brazil U-17 National Team’s preparations for the FIFA U-17 World Cup included a special visit this Sunday (12) at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro. CBF president Samir Xaud attended the training session of the team led by head coach Carlos Eduardo Patetuci.

During the visit, the president spoke with members of the coaching staff and the players, and closely followed the activities carried out on the field. The initiative reinforces CBF’s commitment to a development model that brings the different age-group teams closer together and promotes the continuous development of young players.

For the CBF president, integration between the youth teams is essential to ensure that players have a consistent path within the Brazil National Teams.

"Integration between the youth teams is one of the pillars of our work. We want the players to experience the same playing philosophy, understand the identity of the Brazil National Team, and have an increasingly natural transition between age groups."

Samir Xaud also emphasized the importance of alignment among the coaching staffs during the development process.

"When the coaching staffs work in an integrated way, sharing information, methodologies, and monitoring the players’ development, Brazilian football is the one that benefits. We are building an environment that supports the growth of our talents from the youth levels onward."

Joint work

Integration among Brazil’s youth national teams has been strengthened through closer ties between the coaching staffs and mutual monitoring of activities. During this preparation stage, Brazil U-20 National Team head coach Paulo Victor and assistant coach Lucas Andrade followed the U-17 team’s training sessions at Granja Comary, an initiative that reinforces the alignment of concepts and the continuity of the players’ development process.

Sunday’s training session (12) marked the end of another stage in the Brazil U-17 National Team’s preparation for the FIFA U-17 World Cup, which will be held in November in Qatar. The team will reconvene next month, when it will continue its preparations for the season’s main commitment.
