Brazil announces squad for 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup

The provisional list of the 23 players called up to the Brazilian squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup was announced on Tuesday (27 June). Three substitute footballers headed to the tournament co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand were also named.

Head coach of the Brazilian team since July 2019, the 2023 tournament will mark Pia Sundhage's coaching debut at a World Cup.

Brazil has not missed a World Cup since the inaugural edition in 1991, but has yet to win the tournament. The team's best participation thus far was finishing as runners-up in 2007.

Among the players hoping to change that is forward Marta, the highest scorer ever in the tournament, including the Men's FIFA World Cup. The 2023 edition of the World Cup will mark the 37-year-old's sixth participation in the event.

Brazil will play a friendly match against Chile before travelling to Oceania. The match will be held on Sunday (2 July) at 10:30 a.m. Brasília time.

Check out the names of the 23 players and three substitutes called up to the 2023 tournament.
