This is the second stage of the young Seleção’s preparation for the FIFA U-17 World Cup, which will take place in Qatar in November.

In the first stage, Brazil played two friendlies against the United States in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, at the beginning of the month (read more here). The team won both matches: 4-0 and 1-0.

As the team’s head coach, Carlos Eduardo Patetuci highlighted the importance of the training period in expanding the range of options.

“We had a training camp in Natal with two friendlies against the United States and won both of them. It was an excellent preparation period, and I’m sure this one will be as well. These training sessions at Granja Comary will be very important. When we have a period focused only on training, we get the opportunity to carry out a variety of activities, more full-squad sessions, and also make a broader assessment of the players’ behavior in different situations. Of course, matches are very important, but during a training period we’re able to observe many things, and that also gives us very good feedback,” he said.

There are five new names in this squad: Daniel Carvalho, Iago Machado, João Kempes, Raimundo Ykaro, and João França have been called up for the first time.

The players will report on July 5 and stay at Granja Comary until July 12.

Brazil are in Group I of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, alongside Ireland, Tanzania, and Costa Rica. The young Seleção will make its debut on November 21 against Ireland.
