​On the afternoon of this Tuesday (14), the CBF brought together the entity’s vice presidents and directors, along with the presidents of the state federations. At the meeting, the current administration presented an overview of the projects and structural advances achieved in its first year and looked ahead to the future, detailing the preparation plan for the Brazilian Women’s National Team for the 2027 World Cup and the start of the Brazilian Men’s National Team’s cycle toward 2030.The first year of work by the current administration—with calendar reform, the creation of working groups for Financial Fair Play, Refereeing, and Youth Development, the resumption of institutional dialogue with clubs and federations, titles in the women’s youth national team categories, and an unprecedented Women’s World Cup about to take place—shows that there is no shortage of reasons for the CBF to keep carrying out its plan.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“Of course we expected a more positive result (at the Men’s World Cup), but it is important to show everything that is happening: the work being done at youth level, with integration between the categories, both in the men’s and women’s game. So the work does not stop, it is continuous. We have turned the page and now we are shifting our focus to the Women’s World Cup, as well as the cycle toward 2030,” said CBF president Samir Xaud.Samir Xaud, CBF president: the work that has already borne good fruit in the first year of management continuesCredits: Samara Moumei / CBFBy bringing together the federation presidents and the entity’s vice presidents, the CBF’s goal was to give an account of the work that has been done.
