The call-up comes after a period of training at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, where the coaching staff evaluated an extended group before defining the final squad. The Brazilian delegation is already in Paraguay, the host country of the competition, and continues preparing for its debut.

The team’s first match is scheduled for Saturday (25), against Venezuela. Brazil is in Group B, alongside Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and Uruguay. Group A is made up of Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia.

The regulations state that the top three teams from each group will advance to the final stage. At the end of the competition, only the top two teams will secure a spot in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

Among the Corinthians standouts on the list, Kaillany, Carol Melo, and Pepê were part of the club’s title-winning campaign in the 2025 Brazilian U-17 Championship. Nathalia Cardoso, just 15 years old, is one of the youngest players called up.

With the call-up, the four players are expected to miss Corinthians at the start of the Paulista U-17 Championship, whose opening match is scheduled for May 2 against Ferroviária.
