The beautiful Priscila, who stood out in Paris, is going to the World Cup in Colombia

After her success as Olympic runner-up with Brazilian team in Paris, the young striker Priscilla is preparing for another international challenge: the U-20 Women’s World Cup, which begins on August 31 in Colombia. Thus, at just 19 years old, the Internacional player was one of the choices made by coach Rosana Augusto to join the cast of 21 athletes who will seek the first world title in the category for Brazil.

Rosana Augusto highlighted the importance of the tournament for the development of the players. In addition, she emphasized that the experience gained at the U-20 World Cup is essential for those who aim for a solid career in the top category of football, both with the national team and their clubs. “Participating in a competition at this level provides very valuable experience, which will certainly make a difference in the trajectory of these young athletes”said the coach.

Boarding for Colombia

The Brazilian team’s final preparations will take place in Colombia, where the team will travel on August 23. Brazil is therefore in Group B and will debut against Fiji in MedellĂ­n on August 31 at 8:00 p.m. (BrasĂ­lia time). The following matches will be against France on September 3 and against Canada on September 6. The competition will be intense, with 24 teams divided into six groups, competing for the much-desired spots in the knockout stages.

This edition marks the first time that the U-20 World Cup will feature 24 teams, a significant increase from the last tournament. The tournament structure includes, in addition to the group stage, the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, third-place play-off and the grand final. The expansion of the tournament reflects the growth of women’s football around the world, with more countries investing in and developing talent at the youth level.

In search of the unprecedented title

Historically, the United States and Germany have dominated the competition, with three titles each. The last edition, in 2022, was won by Spain, while Brazil achieved its best performance, finishing third. Expectations for this year’s edition are high, especially with Brazil determined to achieve its first title.

Priscila, who has already demonstrated her talent in international competitions, is one of Brazil’s hopes to lead the team in search of the coveted trophy. Her experience in the Olympic Games could be a crucial differentiator in decisive matches, and her presence on the field is a reason for optimism for Brazilian fans.
