US women at São Paulo base: Barra Funda session before Brazil | OneFootball

With São Paulo on vacation at the start of this break for the World Cup in North America, the Tricolor training center in Barra Funda hosted the United States women’s national team this Tuesday (2), which will play two friendlies against Brazil.

In addition to yesterday afternoon’s training session, the Americans are scheduled for two more days of work at the training ground used by Tricolor’s main squad: this Wednesday (3) and next Friday (5).

The first match against the Brazilians will be on Saturday (6) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena in São Paulo, while the second meeting is scheduled for the 9th (Tuesday), at 9:30 p.m. in Fortaleza, at Arena Castelão.

It is worth remembering that, in 2014, during the World Cup held on Brazilian soil, the United States men’s national team also used São Paulo’s training center facilities.

The Tricolor squad has been given time off and will only report back to the training center on June 17 (Wednesday), at 2 p.m. (Brasília time), to begin preparations for the second half of the year.

In addition to the technical and tactical activities led by Dorival Júnior and his staff, the schedule for the return also includes new fitness tests for the entire squad. The club also plans to hold friendlies or training matches during this period, with the schedule still to be defined.

Center-back Sabino (injury to the back of his right thigh) and attacking midfielder Lucas (surgery to repair an injury to the Achilles tendon in his right leg) are continuing their recovery protocols at REFFIS Plus and will follow individualized programs during this break.
