The Brazil Women’s National Futsal Team wrapped up their training camp in Maringá by absolutely demolishing Japan again, taking a 5-2 victory on Saturday. This came right after they already smoked Japan 7-1 the day before, making it a straight-up rout for the home crowd at the Chico Netto Sports Arena. They didn’t just win; they put on a show for their fans.
Goals Galore: Who Stepped Up in the Double Rout
Coach Wilson Sabóia’s squad was just unstoppable in both matches. On Saturday, Tampa led the charge with two goals, Dinha snagged two more, and Lívia buried one to seal the 5-2 win. The day before, during the 7-1 explosion, Alice and Camila each netted a pair, while Tampa, Natalinha, and Bruna all added to the scoreboard. Across the two games, Brazil hammered in a mind-blowing 12 goals, averaging six per match. That’s serious firepower, no matter who you’re playing.
A New Era Kicks Off: World Champs and Fresh Faces
This international camp wasn’t just about two big wins; it was Brazil’s first gathering since they hoisted the trophy at the inaugural Women’s Futsal World Cup. Talk about a statement! It also kicked off a major squad renewal. Sabóia called up 14 players, bringing in five fresh faces who are definitely ones to watch: wingers Juliana, Andreza, and Alice, defender Berquo, and pivot Maria Lima. But don’t think they’re forgetting their roots. The squad still features three world champions: defender Camila, winger Tampa, and pivot Natalinha. Rounding out the crew were goalkeepers Desirée and Jenni, and wingers Nathália, Bruna, and Dinha, plus pivot Lívia. It’s a killer mix of proven talent and hungry newcomers.
This international camp basically screamed that Brazil is not resting on their World Cup title. They’re rebuilding, reloading, and still straight up dominant. With this kind of firepower from new and veteran players, the rest of the futsal world better be taking notes.
