Brazil’s captain and one of the most well-known players the world over, Marta is a legend of the game, and she may be entering her final World Cup with the Brazilian national team. The 33-year-old is a six-time Women’s Player of the Year award winner, and will be playing in her fifth consecutive Women’s World Cup, having first made the team as a 17-year-old back in 2003.

Debinha

A dangerous goal scorer, Debinha helped lead the North Carolina Courage to the 2018 NWSL title. In 2018, she won the Copa América Femenina with Brazil, scoring three goals in the tournament.

Recent World Cup history

The Brazil women’s national team has qualified for every Women’s World Cup, and finished runners up in 2007 to Germany after knocking out the USWNT in the semifinals. Brazil has also won two silver medals at the Olympics (in 2004 and 2008), but has never won a major global tournament.

Brazil was knocked out of the 2015 Women’s World Cup in the round of 16 by Australia. The two teams will meet in Group C on June 13th.

What experts are saying about Brazil.

Via 90min:

“2015 was a really disappointing competition for Brazil, as a round of 16 exit to Australia put an end to their World Cup hopes. How they perform this year remains to be seen, but they are certainly up there with the favorites of making it all the way.“
