Striker Ivana Fuso, from Birmingham City (ING), is called up for the October FIFA Date, which will feature two friendlies against Canada on the 28th and 31st of this month.

The athlete was called up to replace Kerolin, from North Carolina Courage (USA), who ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee in the match against the Washington Spirit, on October 15th. The injury makes it impossible for the player to perform for the national team’s commitments.

Good moment

Arthur Elias said, after the Seleção‘s training period in September, that they should take advantage of the FIFA dates of October and November to play friendlies with top opponents.

“I see that we are on the path to accelerating this process and that Brazil is already a very organized team within this new model, already on the first FIFA date that we will play, in October.”

Arthur also commented on the fact that he had already worked, at Corinthians, with several athletes called up for this initial period of training.

“Perhaps this connection between them in this first moment, in this first call-up, can help in some way, but, for me, regardless of whether I have already worked or not, I know very well the history of each player here in the Seleção, their performance at the throughout their career, and the objective is to get the best out of them. And we did a lot of that here, in a relationship that was very healthy.”
