Brazil women's team faces USA following historic breakthrough victory
Ahead of Saturday's friendly in São Paulo, we look back at Brazil's historic win over the USWNT in April 2025.
The Brazil women's national team is preparing to face the United States this Saturday, June 6, at the Neo Química Arena in São Paulo. This international friendly serves as a crucial testing ground for both sides as they build momentum toward the 2027 Women's World Cup.
The fixture marks a rematch just over a year after a historic result for the Brazilian side. In April 2025, during a trip to San José, California, Brazil secured a 2-1 victory, ending a decade-long winless streak against the four-time world champions. It stood as the first-ever triumph for Brazil on American soil in the history of the matchup.
In that encounter, managed by Arthur Elias, the team overcame an early deficit after conceding in the first minute. Kerolin equalized in the first half, and substitute Amanda Gutierres delivered the decisive goal in stoppage time to seal the historic win.
As both teams look toward the 2027 tournament, this friendly provides an opportunity to refine tactical approaches and assess squad depth against top-tier opposition.
