A seleção brasileira feminina já conhece os primeiros adversários na Copa do Mundo de 2027. O sorteio desta segunda-feira (26/10) definiu as chaves da primeira fase do torneio, que será sediado por Estados Unidos e Canadá, de 20 de agosto a 5 de setembro.
O Brasil lidera o Grupo B, que terá jogos em Orlando, nos Estados Unidos. A equipe comandada por José Roberto Guimarães terá pela frente República Tcheca, Coreia do Sul e Quênia.
“Vai ser um Mundial de muitos desafios. Na primeira fase temos a República Tcheca que tem crescido no cenário internacional, com as jogadoras atuando em campeonatos fortes da Europa. Jogamos contra elas na Liga das Nações de 2025 e no Mundial de 2022. Foi nossa estreia naquela edição e vencemos por 3 sets a 1”, afirmou o treinador.
Guimarães lembrou que a Coreia do Sul tem tradição, embora não tenha disputado a última Liga das Nações, e classificou o Quênia como um time que procura evoluir de uma temporada para outra. A meta número um, segundo ele, é fechar a chave na liderança para depois pensar no adversário das oitavas de final.
Serão 32 seleções em oito grupos de quatro equipes. As duas melhores de cada chave passam às oitavas de final, quando tem início a fase eliminatória em busca do troféu.
