In head coach Camila Orlando’s squad list, two Corinthians players were included: goalkeeper Ana Morganti and attacking midfielder Dulce Maria, both born in 2008.

This is because Júlia Passero’s squad will only return to the pitch in October to play in the quarterfinals of the Paulista Under-20 Championship. In the first phase, the Brabinhas finished second in the overall standings and wrapped up the opening stage of the tournament this Wednesday (19) with a 3-1 win over Centro Olímpico in Santana de Parnaíba, in the countryside of São Paulo. Dulce Maria, in fact, came on in the second half and scored one of the goals in the match. Across Timão’s Under-17 and Under-20 teams, there have been 23 goals in 62 matches, with 39 wins, 12 draws, and 11 losses. Her contract runs until December 2027.

Ana Morganti, on the other hand, will be absent from the professional squad’s activities, where she has already been integrated since the closing stretch of last year. At the start of the current season, she was promoted permanently. In the first team, Corinthians currently have the following options for the position: Lelê, Nicole, and Rillary.

With a contract only until the end of the year, Morganti joined Corinthians in 2022 and quickly became one of the standout players in the club’s youth ranks. Last year, she was crucial in the team’s Women’s Under-17 Brasileirão title, against Grêmio in the final. In the quarterfinals, against Ferroviária, she saved two penalty kicks.

In the 2024 season, when she was only 15, she was called up to the Brazil national team for the South American Under-17 Championship. In 2025, she wore the captain’s armband as Brazil finished runner-up in the same tournament at that age level. Altogether, the young player has made 38 appearances for the Brabinhas’ Under-17 and Under-20 teams.
