Isa Haas hails FIFA Series boost for teams, legacy for Mato Grosso Center back Isa Haas highlighted the importance of holding the FIFA Series, a competition the Brazilian Women’s National Team will play starting next Saturday (11), both for the preparation of the participating teams and for the legacy it will leave for football in Mato Grosso. In a press conference this Thursday (9) at Cuiabá’s training center, the 25-year-old defender stressed that the tournament is a chance for teams and players to develop. “This competition is very good for everyone.
The National Team improves, women’s football improves, and we improve. Of course, everyone is fighting for their place; I’m always continuing to fight for mine, and everyone here knows very well how Arthur works. We have to make the most of every call-up, every moment we are here, because the range (of options) is wide,” she said.
Before the arrival of the Canarinha in the state capital, the CBF organized Joga, Mina! in partnership with CONMEBOL and the Mato Grosso Football Federation (FMF), with the aim of promoting the development of women’s football through seminars, talent identification with tryouts, and support for youth categories.

“It’s a pleasure to be here, and it’s a privilege to keep promoting women’s football more and more in a country as large as Brazil. Some states are still seeking that growth, Mato Grosso is on that path, and we are very happy. We hope to leave a legacy.
We don’t just want to come here, play our matches, and leave. We want to show what women’s football is capable of producing and leave a legacy so that this keeps growing more and more,” she explained. In the competition, Brazil will face South Korea, Zambia, and Canada.
