The Brazilian Women’s National Team called Martachosen six times as the Best Player in the World, to play in Paris in what will be her sixth Olympic Games.
Coach Arthur Elias highlighted during a press conference that Marta, whom he called “the greatest athlete of all time,” is “playing well” with the American team Orlando Pride, which is in second place in the national tournament.
In addition, the coach said that he will seek to “empower” Marta, 38, and that he hopes that the rest of the players will see in her “an example” to follow.
The soccer player had an outstanding performance during the team’s preparation for Paris and scored two goals in a friendly match against Jamaica a month ago.
The team’s debut will be on July 25, when it will face Nigeria, followed by Japan and Spain, current world champion.
Under the command of Elias, signed after the poor result of the 2023 World Cup in which Brazil did not advance from the group stage, the team has achieved 11 victories against four defeats.
