Karyna Prado

This Saturday (01) and Sunday (02), the Brazilian team enters the court for the first commitment of 2020. It will be the International Challenge against Chile, in Tancredão, in Vitória (ES). The match will feature the two best South American teams in the last World Cup and is in preparation for the Copa America in March.


The Selection goes through a renewal process after having won the third place in the last World Cup. Coach Marco Antonio Batata summoned several new faces such as Neguinho (Roma-CE), Luizinho (Coritiba-PR), Beletti (Corinthians-SP), Terrão (Santo André-ES), Paulo Neto (Sorocaba-SP), Rafinha Canhoto ( Espírito Santo) and Laion (Maringá-PR). After the International Challenge, Brazil will travel to Orlando (USA), for the Intercontinental Cup.


The Chilean national team is also going through a period of renewal of the squad, calling some young players the main players. In 2020, the challenge for “La Roja” is to remain among the biggest teams, after reaching the semifinals of the last World Cup, in addition to developing the most practiced sport in the country.


The International Football 7 Challenge will be on Saturday (01) and Sunday (02), at 3 pm, at Tancredão, in Vitória (ES), with free admission. The matches will be broadcast live from REDETV throughout the state of Espírito Santo and also on the FIF7 Facebook page.
