Flamengo had five players called up to the Brazilian Women's Team. Rubro-Negro will have four representatives in the Under-17s, and one as part of the Under-20 squad. Meet those called up and see Flamengo's message of support for the Meninas da Gávea.


For the Under-20 Team, Rosana Augusto called up midfielder Anna Luiza for the friendlies that will be played against Austria, on the May 31st and June 3rd. The matches will be held in Spain. The call-up is part of Canarinho's preparation period for the World Cup category. “Congratulations, Girl from Gávea! This is the result of your daily work!”, published the club.


As for the Under-17 Team, Flamengo managed to win four representatives. They are: Sofia Couto, Kaylane, Larissa and Laís Santos. The girls will be concentrated between May 27th and June 6th, for a period of training, also with an eye on the World Cup. “Congratulations, my Gávea Girls. You represent!”, shared Fla.


The U20 Women's World Cup will be played in Colombia, between August 31st and September 22nd. 24 countries are qualified for the tournament, whose current champion is the Spanish team, nicknamed 'La Rojita'.

The 24 teams will be divided into six groups of four. The two best teams in each group qualify for the round of 16, along with the four best third-placed teams. The bracket normally continues until the big decision, with quarter-finals, semi-finals, dispute for third place and final.


Classified teams: Germany, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Colombia (country -headquarters), North Korea, South Korea, Costa Rica, Spain, United States, Fiji, France, Ghana, Netherlands, Japan, Morocco, Mexico, Nigeria, New Zealand, Paraguay and Venezuela are classified.

< The U17 World Cup will be held in the Dominican Republic, between October 16th and November 3rd. Unlike the U20 World Cup, only 16 countries compete in the competition, which also has Spain as the current champion.

The seeding also works differently in the U17. The 16 teams are divided into groups of four, but only the best two from each qualify for the quarterfinals (no round of 16). Afterwards, the teams will face each other in the semi-finals, third place and final.

Teams already classified (13 out of 16): Dominican Republic (host country), Brazil, Colombia, South Korea, North Korea, Ecuador, Spain, United States, England, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Poland.
