CBF Transforma Development League ends with big clashes and celebrations The CBF Transforma Development League came to an end this Sunday (29). The competition’s final matches determined not only the third- and fourth-place finishers, but also this year’s champions and runners-up. The tournament was held in Santa Catarina, and its champions have secured a place in the 2026 CONMEBOL Evolución Festival.
All matches were broadcast live on CBF TV, providing visibility for the future talents of Brazilian football. The Development League final also featured the presence of the head coaches of the Brazil Women’s Under-17 and Under-15 National Teams, Rilany Silva and Bia Vaz.

The project combines technical development with the educational and social development of the athletes, encouraging values such as discipline, respect, and teamwork. Players and coaching staffs took part in a cultural activity promoted by the CBF Transforma Development League Credits: Beno Kuster/CBF COMPETITION SCHEDULE The first phase of the tournament was played on March 23, 24, and 25. Thursday (26), which would have been a rest day, was used by the CBF to hold a cultural activity focused on the prevention and risks of sports betting.
This type of activity is a recurring practice by the entity, given that this is a developmental competition. The same happened in 2025, for example, when the fight against racism and the new FIFA protocol were addressed. The knockout stage began on Friday (27) and continued through this Sunday (29).
