São Paulo women's U14 and U16 sides in Development League this week | OneFootball

This Monday (23), São Paulo’s Women’s U-14 and U-16 youth teams will make their Liga de Desenvolvimento debut. The competition takes place from March 23 to 29, with all matches broadcast on CBF TV.

The U-14 team’s matches will be played at the Centro de Desenvolvimento Futebol Catarinense in Balneário Camboriú (SC), while the last two will be held at CT Barra FC 1 and Arena Barra FC, both in Itajaí (SC). The U-16 matches, meanwhile, will take place at Barra FC’s Training Center and Arena, also located in Itajaí (SC).

About the competition

The tournament features eight clubs divided into two groups, and matches are shorter than usual. Each game consists of two 25-minute halves (for a total of 50 minutes), plus a 10-minute halftime break.

In the first phase, the teams in each group will face each other once. In the semifinals, the top team from one group will face the runner-up from the other, and vice versa. The winners of those matches will advance to the final.

There will also be a match between the teams that do not reach the final to determine third and fourth place. In the same format, the third-place team from one group will face the fourth-place team from the other, and vice versa. The winners will then face off for fifth and sixth place. There will also be a match to decide seventh and eighth place.

Throughout the knockout stage, if a match is tied at the end of regulation time, qualification will be decided by a penalty shootout.

In the Women’s U-14 category, São Paulo is in Group A alongside Ferroviária, Grêmio, and Criciúma. The U-16 team is also in Group A, but with Centro Olímpico-SP, Grêmio, and Criciúma.
