Training begins today at the Bettye Wilson Sports Complex, with sessions planned for 7 PM on consecutive days. Media can view the first 15 minutes of each session.

The opener against Costa Rica drew a record 67,158 fans to SoFi Stadium, a modern venue that cost about R$30 billion. This stadium is set to host significant future events, including the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics.

However, it’s not just about the crowds. Brazil’s performance needs improvement, as shown by their recent draw. With Paraguay coming off a 2-1 loss to Colombia, the pressure is on Brazil and Coach Dorival Júnior to secure a win.

As the team prepares, their actions in Las Vegas are critical not just for their Copa América chances, but for demonstrating smart tactics.
