The 39-year-old Marta is in the contingent for the next international matches of the upcoming World Cup host.
Brazil’s football idol Marta just doesn’t get enough of Selecao. The 39-year-old striker returns to the national team nine months after her resignation after Olympic silver.
National coach Arthur Elias called the star player of the US champion Orlando Pride on Tuesday for the last tests before the cadre name for the Copa America in Ecuador (July 12th to August).
According to Elias, the six -time world footballer has earned the nomination thanks to strong performances. After the lost Olympic final of Paris, Marta had explained that the home World Cup 2027 was “no longer a personal goal” for her, but it adds: “I will always be available to Selecao if you think that I can still be useful during the preparation for the World Cup.”
