The FIFA Women’s World Cup is getting closer. The Brazilian team arrives at the contest as one of the great favorites, although the challenge will not be easy at all. That is why the squad already begins to prepare a month in advance.
A group of 16 players have already reported to the Granja Comary property in Teresópolis to place themselves under the orders of Pia Sundhage, the coach who will seek to take this team to the top in Australia and New Zealand.
