CBF beach soccer manager Lavoisier Freire visited the hotel where the Brazil men’s U-20 national team is staying in Copacabana, in Rio de Janeiro’s South Zone, to speak with the players. In his remarks, he reiterated CBF’s full support for the squad by providing the best possible structure for the training period and for the trip to Lima, the capital of Peru, where the fourth edition of the CONMEBOL U-20, the main continental competition in the category, will be held from August 22 to 30.
"These meetings with youth players, who will replace our stars on the senior national team in the future, are always important so they can clearly understand all the structure and improvements CBF has been making in the sport. This is a directive from president Samir Xaud and beach soccer director Mauro Carmélio, and we are putting it into practice with great responsibility and professionalism. The coaching staff’s work was carried out masterfully during this training period in Copacabana, and now it’s time to put it into practice once the ball starts rolling on Sunday. I’m very confident this team will deliver a great performance," said Lavoisier.
Starting next Sunday (23), the national team begins its CONMEBOL U-20 campaign against Ecuador in its opening match. Brazil is chasing its second title, having won the tournament’s first edition in 2017. In the next two editions, in 2019 and 2023, it reached the final both times but finished as runner-up after being beaten by Argentina and Paraguay, respectively.
