Brazil last participated in the Montaigu Tournament in 2022, when the generation of athletes like Luís Guilherme, Pedrinho, and Endrick won the title, ending a 38-year drought for the National Team in the competition.

Following recent victories in the Copa 2 de Julho and the Conmebol Liga Evolução, coach Dalla Déa highlighted the importance of the Under-16 squad testing their skills against opponents from various parts of the world.

“It is a fundamental tournament for the development of our young athletes, due to the importance of experiencing different schools. Last year, they won the Conmebol Liga Evolução, which was our first competition, and now there is nothing better than facing these schools. And thinking about the players' development, this tournament is very important, especially for wearing the Brazilian National Team jersey,” he said.
