The Brazil Women’s National Team secured their first three points in the South American Women’s U-17 Championship by defeating Venezuela 2-0 in their tournament debut. Brazil’s goal scorers, Gigi and Mari Gigante, celebrated the achievement.
“I’m feeling very happy. It’s the result of a lot of hard work, and we always want more. It was a hard-fought match, and Brazil had the motivation, confidence, and courage to keep pushing to extend the lead until the end,” said midfielder Gigi.

“I’m very happy and honored. It’s an incredible opportunity to represent the Brazil Women’s National Team—not just anyone gets to be here. If I’m here, it’s because I deserve it. I’m extremely happy to have scored Brazil’s second goal,” said fellow midfielder Gigante.
The team returns to the field on Monday (27) to face Uruguay. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Ameliano Villeta in Paraguay, with live coverage on SporTV.
